No-Tylenol proposal gives school committee a headache

MILFORD

Some Milford School Committee members said a recent meeting that they don’t support a proposal to require students to bring their own Tylenol to school.

The new policy was put forward by Milford schools nursing director Judy Dagnese, who said her staff is seeing an excessive amount of visits from students seeking the pain medication. But committee members said they wouldn’t be comfortable telling students they can’t get Tylenol if they need it.

Committee member Lori Baranauskas also said the policy might pose a problem for students who can’t afford to bring in their own Tylenol. The committee put off a vote on the proposal until a future meeting, Baranauskas said.
