What changed

HB1301 establishes comprehensive student diabetes medical care requirements for Virginia's public elementary and secondary schools. The bill requires school boards in each division to develop and implement divisionwide plans for diabetes care and management, effective starting with the 2028-2029 school year. This represents a new mandate on Virginia school divisions to establish formalized processes for supporting students with diabetes.

School divisions must begin planning now to develop compliant divisionwide diabetes care plans before the 2028-2029 school year deadline. Division superintendents and school board administrators should coordinate with healthcare providers, school nurses, and parents to establish comprehensive policies covering insulin administration, blood glucose monitoring, meal accommodations, and emergency protocols. Compliance will be required by the start of the 2028-2029 academic year.
