Bill > HB1085

This bill aims to promote a safe learning environment for students with seizure disorders. The key provisions are: 1. School districts must provide individual health plans for students with epilepsy or other seizure disorders, which must cover policies on acquiring parent instructions, medication storage, individual emergency plans, distribution of health plans to staff, and annual plan updates. Districts must consult with licensed medical professionals or national epilepsy organizations in developing these policies. 2. School districts must designate a licensed healthcare professional to coordinate with parents and train school staff on proper procedures for caring for students with seizure disorders. 3. Parent-designated adults who are not school employees must receive training from healthcare professionals or experts, and school employees who are not nurses can volunteer to be parent-designated adults without employer reprisal. 4. The Washington State School Directors' Association, in consultation with the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, must adopt a model policy and procedure for school districts to implement the requirements of this bill by December 15, 2021.
