Yes unless you are switching to that school!

I would go talk to a lawyer, and push for some punitive damage, unless you signed a waiver prior.

Report the first school to the state - that definitely was a breach of medical confidentiality and a breach of state law. You should also tell your story to your local newspaper. Your county will have a list of lawyers who’ll accept certain cases pro bono - check with the legal aid society.
You have a very strong case for a lawsuit. Go get ‘em!

Nothing…….It is not illegal. The school is suppose to know the medical history of a pupil in their custodian. And it is illegal for you to with hold that information. The school has a medical department…….school nurse who has a doctor boss somewhere. Only if they tell all the other pupils do you have a problem.

Due to privacy laws with medical records, a release must be signed to share any information

Legally, this is inappropriate on the school’s part.

As your child’s legal parent and guardian, you are the only person entitled to share his medical information with an institution or entity.

The exception is present if you signed a waiver or other document. Basically, if you signed something saying they were free to disclose his medical records to another school, then it was legal.

However, this is otherwise confidential information. While some schools do require that they be aware of any medications or medical conditions a student has, it is up to you to tell them this, at your own discretion. The school staff or administration responsible for this should not have given out the record of his medication without prior written consent from you or another guardian of your child (if any).

I would contact a lawyer and discuss your options, especially if your reasoning for switching schools was to avoid issues caused by your son’s ADHD or his medication. Then, take the proper steps necessary to report this incident. As another answerer suggested, tell the local newspaper, and get the word out about the incident.
