DELAND, Fla. — The Orange County School District approved a medical marijuana policy Tuesday. The district changed its policy to allow students to take medical marijuana while on campus.

The Volusia County School Board moved one step closer Tuesday to changing the district's marijuana policy to accommodate medicinal use.

The policy comes with the following rules:

  • Medical marijuana must be administered by a caregiver, and that person will be allowed on campus in a private area.
  • The medical marijuana must be out of plain view from staff and students.
