Vision Update:

​Nearly 4 years after the initial Vision Screening Task force meeting, the Vision Screening regulations were approved by the Secretary of State on December 26, 2019. These Vision Screening Regulations will go into effect April 1, 2020, when final rule making file comes back from the Office of Administrative Law.  Final documents will be posted on the California Department of Education website. CSNO would like to thank the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology & Strabismus and the American Optometric Association for their generous grants and the School Nurses Of California Foundation for writing the grant.

AAP Policy Statement on Off-Label
Medication Use

Off label AAP Position Statement

The American Academy of Pediatrics has a position statement on the use of off-label medication use with children. The purpose of off-label use is to benefit the individual patient. Practitioners use their professional judgment to determine these uses. As such, the term “off-label” does not imply an improper, illegal, contraindicated, or investigational use. Therapeutic decision-making must always rely on the best available evidence and the importance of the benefit for the individual patient.
