TORONTO The Ontario government says it will
require school boards to create individual care
plans for students with certain medical conditions
in a bid to make schools safer for them.
Boards will be required to provide students who have medical conditions
such as anaphylaxis, asthma, diabetes and epilepsy with a plan of care
that outlines contacts and procedures tailored to the specific needs of the
student.
Education Minister Mitzie Hunter says the new policy, Supporting
Children and Students with Prevalent Medical Conditions, will come into
effect by the start of the next school year.
She calls it an important first step in supporting the well-being of
students with medical conditions.
Advocates with The Lung Association and Asthma Canada say the policy
will help make sure schools comply with Ryan's Law, which requires every
school to allow students with asthma to carry their medication.
