<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Does anyone have an example of a model
policy for how schools can dispose of leftover student medications at the
end of the school year? It seems that many, if not most, schools
flush whatever medications remain after the students leave for the summer,
potentially causing a spike over a several-day period as all schools in
an area flush at approximately the same time.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Any information about how schools do
dispose of their leftover student medications or how they could dispose
of them other than flushing would be appreciated. Thank you.</font>
