Gin Stokes was fired for taking other kids meds, supposidly. The nurse Teresa fell down the stairs and will most likely be out for a while.

"My child sometimes wouldn't get the correct meds or receive them way past the time he was supposed to receive them... the people handing the medicines out didn't have a clue what meds the kids were on or when they needed to take them. He'd have to tell them they gave him the wrong meds or he was missing meds. There were kids that went days without medication because HLA failed to get their prescriptions refilled. Then they tried to pin that one on Dr. Reddick saying she forget to give the kids refills. Bull. "

This exact thing happened to my son.  I spoke directly to Dr. Reddick who told me she had written new prescriptions and she
stated she had delivered them directly to the "dispensary"  At least
a week went by before the new meds were given, and then my son had to tell staff what he was taking and how much to give him....and
he had substance abuse problems.  When I reported the problem
to Clay Erickson, he seemed surprised and "assured" me he would
look into it.  His assurance made me feel so much better - NOT.

It is absolutely amazing that no child has actually died from HLA's incompetence. It's probably just a matter of time.

--- Quote ---In order to minimize errors and continue to provide quality care for the students, Joe is looking to implement the following changes:
Blister packaging medication in order to help with better medication management.
Acquiring delivery service from the pharmacy with whom HLA contracts.
Increasing communication among the dispensary staff in order to better coordinate dispensary duties.
Begin a more formal process of tracking dispensary activities to catch problems before they occur.
Begin cross-training assistant counselors on Dispensary duties to ensure adequate coverage in the Dispensary.

NATSAP's Principles of Good Practice
7.0  HEALTH CARE ACCESS
7.1   The program/school will have a policy on health care that addresses the following issues:
7.1.1  Access to appropriate medical care.
7.1.2  Delineation of whom is authorized to dispense medications.
7.1.3  A policy on storing, accounting, and security of medication.

Given that Buccellato funded the creation of NATSAP and HLA is a long-standing member, shouldn't these policies have been in place all along?
Leaves one to question how many other Principles are not being followed, by HLA and other NATSAP programs.
