    Shit, tons of districts aren’t even fully staffed with school nurses anymore. They often only have a few nurses that rotate between schools, so any given school only has a nurse on site one or two days a week. It’s actually a huge problem because there’s nobody available to dispense prescription meds for kids that need them, so either the teachers (who aren’t trained or equipped for this) have to help out or the kids have to self-medicate.
