Comstock ISD posts medication procedures for students, effective Feb. 10, 2026

Comstock Independent School District posted a news item titled "Procedures for Students Bringing Medications to School" on February 10, 2026, announcing that the notice "outlines district policy and required paperwork for students who must bring prescription or over‑the‑counter medications to campus during the school day." The posting appears on the CISD "Latest News" page and the district encourages families to use the ParentSquare app to stay up to date; the district contact listed on the site is Veronica Oyama at 432-292-4444.

The district’s news page places the medication notice among recent posts including "TAPR Report and Notice of Public Hearing for CISD" and "Public Posting and Release of School Report Card" on February 2, 2026, and a "Letter from Our Interim Superintendent/Principal, Ms. Seipp" dated January 21, 2026. The site also shows a January 14, 2026 item announcing a new interim superintendent and a slate of November 26, 2025 releases; visible school messaging on the same pages includes slogans such as "go panthers" and mission text stressing "Kindness" and "Curiosity." The CISD news page links families to SPEDTex resources and lists SPEDTex contact information as Phone: 1-855-773-3839 and Email: inquire@spedtex.org.

The news listing on CISD’s site provides the title and date but the excerpt available to the public does not include the full text of the posted procedures or the names of any authorization forms. For comparison, a separate district, Comstock Park Public Schools, spells out typical medication rules in board policy language: "authorized staff who have completed the necessary training, in the presence of another adult, will administer the medication in compliance with the instructions of a physician (as indicated on the prescription label), or the written instructions of the parent/guardians of the medication is non-prescriptive (within manufacturer and FDA approved medication usage)." That Comstock Park policy also states, "The parent/guardian must bring the medication to school in its original container labeled by the pharmacy or manufacturer," and, "Medication is kept in the office. No medication is to be kept by a student," with exceptions for "metered dose inhalers for the treatment of asthma, or emergency medications such as Epinephrine."

State public‑health guidance from the Texas Department of State Health Services underscores safety practices districts often adopt; DSHS warns, "If medication errors continue to be ignored, then strategies to prevent errors cannot be implemented," and recommends documenting errors. DSHS’s recommended immediate steps include: "Keep the student in the health room. If the student has returned to class, then have someone accompany the student back to the health room," and "Observe the student’s status, and document what you see." DSHS also highlights verification practices such as "Right patient - Assure the right patient is receiving the right drug by checking two unique patient identifiers."

For Val Verde County parents seeking forms, authorization language, or clarification about self-carry rules for inhalers or epinephrine, the district’s news page and ParentSquare are the posted channels; families may also call Veronica Oyama at 432-292-4444. CISD’s Feb. 10, 2026 posting establishes the district has updated procedures on campus medication, parents and caregivers should confirm the district’s full notice and any required paperwork directly through CISD channels or by contacting the listed district office.
