NEW
FEDERAL LAW OUTLAWS SCHOOLS FROM FORCING PARENTS TO DRUG KIDS
On
December 3, 2004, The Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act
(IDEA) was signed into law by President Bush. Incorporated within this
Act was the first of its kind Federal legislation called the "Prohibition
on Mandatory Medication Amendment”. This new law prohibits
schools from recommending or requiring that a child take a Controlled
Substance (Includes all stimulants: Ritalin, Adderall, Concerta, Dexedrine,
Dextrostat, ect.) in order to attend school.
This
new precedent setting law CAN and SHOULD be used by any parent/caregiver being
coerced, pressured, or inundated with pro-drug recommendations by their
child’s school.
We
recommend that you print out the Amendment itself and submit it to your
child’s school with all other pertinent documents listed below for your
convenience.
(25)
PROHIBITION ON MANDATORY MEDICATION.
(A) IN GENERAL. – The State educational agency shall
prohibit State and local educational agency personnel from
requiring a child to obtain a prescription for a substance covered by the
Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 801 et seq.) as a condition of attending
school, receiving an evaluation under subsection (a) or (c) of section 614, or
receiving services under this title.
(B) RULE OF CONSTRUCTION.- Nothing in subparagraph (A) shall be construed to
create a Federal prohibition against teachers and other school personnel
consulting or sharing classroom-based observations with parents or guardians
regarding a student’s academic and functional performance, or behavior in
the classroom or school, or regarding the need for evaluation for special
education or related services under paragraph (3).
