Augusta School Board Approves Medical Marijuana Policy
Across America and the world, medical marijuana laws, policies, treatments, and even perceptions appear to be shifting a little each month.
Yesterday and by unanimous vote, Augusta, Maine school board members approved a medical marijuana policy. Below is part of the story.
“Superintendent James Anastasio said the policy is based on a model policy from the Maine School Management Association. The policy is meant to give guidance to staff members in dealing with students who use medical marijuana to manage a medical condition and have written certification from a medical provider for the use of medical marijuana. The policy states students would not be allowed to possess medical marijuana in school and requires medical marijuana to be administered, in nonsmokable form, by a primary caregiver, such as a parent. The Winslow School Board approved a similar policy last month, as school districts across the state work to comply with a state law passed last year.
The policy states, ‘The Board recognizes that there may be some students in the Augusta School Department schools who rely on the use of medical marijuana to manage a medical condition and who may be unable to effectively function at school without it.'”
