Seizure Disorders

Students attending the Olentangy Local School District who have a seizure disorder require special attention while at school. The role of the School Nurse is to collaborate with school personnel, family members and medical professionals in order to develop appropriate management procedures.

Parents are responsible for returning the required district medical forms to the School Nurse. These forms must be completed and signed by the health care provider directly involved in the management of the student's seizure care. Care and emergency plans may not be activated without the necessary paperwork on file.

The OLSD nurses are advocates for students with special needs. We strive to provide for the safety of these children by educating and training school staff to assist with routine and emergency care whenever necessary.
