School boards; student diabetes care & management in schools, division wide plan required.

This legislation requires every Virginia school division to establish a comprehensive plan for managing students with diabetes. Schools must ensure that staff members are trained to provide necessary care, including the administration of insulin and glucagon, and assist students with blood glucose monitoring during the school day. By mandating a standardized, division-wide approach, this bill aims to reduce administrative confusion and ensure that all students with diabetes receive consistent, timely medical support regardless of which school they attend within the district. For Arlington families, this policy provides a clearer framework for parents to coordinate with school nursing staff, ultimately improving student safety, health outcomes, and accessibility to academic activities for children living with chronic health conditions.
