N.Y. Education Law § 907: Use of sunscreen

§ 907. Use of sunscreen. The board of education or trustees of each

school district and board of cooperative educational services, and the

governing body of each private elementary, middle and secondary school,

shall allow students to carry and use topical sunscreen products

approved by the federal Food and Drug Administration for

over-the-counter use for the purpose of avoiding overexposure to the sun

and not for medical treatment of an injury or illness, with the written

permission of the parent or guardian of the student. A record of such

permission shall be maintained by the school. A student who is unable to

physically apply sunscreen may be assisted by unlicensed personnel when

directed to do so by the student, if permitted by a parent or guardian

and authorized by the school.
