Kingsport City Schools Will Now Need Parental Consent Before School Nurses Can Provide Non-Emergency Care Like Bandages Or Ice Packs. This Change Follows The “Families’ Rights And Responsibilities Act,” Which Has Led To Broader Consent Requirements. Assistant Superintendent Andy True Says The Move Is Precautionary To Comply With The Law, Which Could Expose Healthcare Providers To Civil Suits. Parents Must Complete Consent Forms To Ensure Care For Over 7,000 Students. Some Parents Feel The Requirement Is Extreme But Understand The Need For Involvement In Their Children’s Healthcare.
