A 2021 law required school districts to update their medical marijuana policies, but it didn't create a deadline or penalties for districts that refuse to participate.
During the school year, Melissa Durham has to make daily drives to her son's school to administer his medical marijuana medication.Melissa Durham moved to Cascade, Colorado, from Texas in 2016 in hopes of finding medical marijuana treatments for her son, Austin, whose conditions include cerebral palsy and seizures.
But during the past school year, Durham had to drive to Austin’s school each day to administer his marijuana mediation, and she’ll probably have to do it again next year. Policy in her son's school district, District 14 in Manitou Springs, still prohibits employees from administering medical marijuana to students.
A state legislative measure in 2018 updated Colorado law so that school personnel could also administer medical marijuana if a school district adopted such policies. One of the first districts to allow employees to administer medical marijuana was Clear Creek School District in Clear Creek County, but it took a handful of parents and medical marijuana advocates to lobby the school board first.
Numerous districts have followed Clear Creek’s lead, but a large portion of the state’s 178 public school districts continue to abstain.has discovered 45 districts with new policies allowing staff to voluntarily administer medical marijuana, while nearly 70 districts have policies still prohibiting such actions. Policies for the remaining districts are either not readily accessible online or do not explicitly address staff administration of medical marijuana.
