Consider changing state law or policies if current laws and policies do not provide students with diabetes the protection they need. School diabetes care laws, regulations, or policies enacted in 28 states. Trainer Notes: Legislate after attempts to educate, negotiate, and litigate have failed and current policies and state laws do not provide needed protection to students with diabetes. Alert ADA if you find legal barriers (i.e. nurses refusal to delegate due to state law) to appropriate diabetes care in your school district. ADA maintains a database of discrimination it receives that helps to identify areas of the country where there are many problems. Work with ADA to assess need for legislation. Take part in advocating for changing the state law. Realize that systems change slowly and the success of legislative efforts requires patience and perseverance. Many states have laws that limit what non-medically licensed personnel may do to help a student with diabetes. It may be part of the state\u2019s Nurse Practice Act. Sometimes there is no statewide policy. Rather, policy is determined district by district. Some states give regulatory authority to the state Board of Nursing. Some states have school diabetes care specific laws.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
