Ohio revised code 3313.7117 requires a school nurse to create an individualized seizure action plan for each student enrolled who has an active seizure disorder diagnosis.
Components of an individualized seizure action plan include a written request, signed by the student’s parent or guardian, to have seizure disorder prescriptions administered to the student and a written statement from the student’s treating practitioner providing information on each drug prescribed to the student for a seizure disorder.
The School Nurse is required to notify all school employees who regularly interact with the student in writing of the existence and content of the seizure action plan. The School Nurse coordinates seizure disorder care at the school and ensures all staff who interact with the student receive necessary training.
In addition, each person employed as an administrator, guidance counselor, teacher or bus driver must complete a minimum of one hour of training on seizure disorders by October 3, 2025, and then bi-annually.
