Acetaminophen/Ibuprofen Formulary Medication, Provided by LPS

Since early 2001, selected Lincoln Public Schools have been allowed to accept signed parent consent only for acetaminophen (Tylenol-type) and ibuprofen (Motrin-type) products. This means that in participating schools a physician’s prescription or authorization will not be required for these two medications in normal, weight-appropriate doses. Before your child may receive any medication from us, you must have a signed consent on file in the school health office. Participation in this medication project is voluntary. Only children in grades kindergarten through 12 th grade may participate in the project. Medication will be provided by the school in chewable, liquid and tablet form if available.

This project applies only to Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen. All other medication requests still need to be accompanied by physician authorization.

Participating Schools:

ELEMENTARY : All

MIDDLE Schools: All

HIGH Schools: All except: Focus programs, VOICE program

Please call the Health Services Program at 436-1655, your child’s School Nurse if you have any questions.
