I'm assuming that this school's policy is similar to my kids' school's policy in that any prescription must be maintained by a school official. The student who needs their prescription is certainly allowed to take it - s/he just can't keep it on her/his own person (or locker, backpack, etc...). I don't think anyone said the student couldn't take the ibuprofen, just that it couldn't be in her possession.

I agree 100% with this. IMO, searching in the absence of the student's parent(s) is where the school crossed the line.

ETA: It took me too long to type that and there's already been a discussion about it!
