pain relief in a manner consistent with the labeling, if the
district has received a written authorization from the student's
parent or guardian permitting the student to self-administer the
medication. The parent or guardian must submit written
authorization for the student to self-administer the medication
each school year. The district may revoke a student's privilege
to possess and use nonprescription pain relievers if the
district determines that the student is abusing the privilege.
This section does not apply to the possession or use of any drug
or product containing ephedrine or pseudoephedrine as its sole
active ingredient or as one of its active ingredients.
