ROCHESTER, Minn. -<\/p>\n
Around lunchtime every day, Kaya Koball is taking a dose of her CBD oil. She takes the oil three times each day to treat her epilepsy. Once a day, during the school afternoon, a member of her family has to take time to administer the dose since the District doesn't allow CBD products on school grounds.<\/p>\n
\"It sucks, she's in high school, she's supposed to be independent and do things on her own,\" Justin Koball, her father said. \"She's still reliant on me to show up.\"<\/p>\n
The routine is a daily obstacle to Kaya's education.<\/p>\n
\"Right now, she's missing, what do you have English or something?\" Justin asked.<\/p>\n
\"Yes, I'm in English class right now,\" Kaya said.<\/p>\n
Her father has his own business and wishes the School District would meet him halfway.<\/p>\n
\"I just wish they would advocate more instead of letting the parents do it all, here we are trying to pull strings and get stuff done, it takes a toll on myself, our relationship with our daughter,\" Justin said. \"It takes a toll on the business.\"<\/p>\n
Despite all the hurdles - Kaya's father says his family will do whatever it takes to ensure their daughter is healthy.<\/p>\n
\"It's my child, my responsibility, I'm going to do whatever I can to make sure she has the proper care and medicine she deserves,\" Justin said.<\/p>\n
When KIMT News 3 reached out to Rochester Public Schools for comment, they referred us to a policy that states \"CBD is not allowed on school grounds,\" but offered no further comment.<\/p>\n
