Pierre School Board Gives First Reading To Policy Allowing Medical Cannabis Administration In School Buildings

PIERRE — The Pierre School Board has given first reading to a policy to guide the District in how to administer medical cannabis to students who qualify to use it. Superintendent Dr. Kelly Glodt says the brand new policy is pulled nearly exactly from a sample policy developed by the Associated School Boards of South Dakota…

Glodt says the policy is just a sample and could be changed or amended…

Glodt believes most school districts in South Dakota will use the ASBSD template for medical cannabis policies…

Caregivers will have to go through a process to bring medical cannabis to a school building to administer it then remove it from the facility. Second reading will take place at the Pierre School Board’s October meeting.
