July 24, 2024

EMERGENCY USE OF DISTRICT STOCK MEDICATIONS

The Board of Education and Oklahoma Law has authorized a licensed physician with prescriptive authority to provide a prescription for Epinephrine injectors and inhalers in the name of the school district. This prescription will be of a quantity sufficient to provide two (2) Epinephrine injectors and two (2) inhalers with spacers or holding chambers at each district site. Title 70 O.S. § 1-116.3

Students shall be able to receive an emergency dose of district stock Epinephrine injection or inhaler under the following conditions:

  • The student’s parent/guardian has provided the required annual written permission for their student to be given the stock Epinephrine and have waived liability to the district for any injury arising from the administration of stock emergency medications.
  • Only the school nurse or designated school employee who has completed appropriate training shall administer the stock emergency medications.
  • School employees are required to call 911 in the event of any emergency use of an Epinephrine injector or inhaler.
  • Parents/guardians will be notified immediately in the event of any emergency use of an Epinephrine injector or inhaler.

The Superintendent will designate personnel at each school site to:

  • Be responsible for obtaining and maintaining an adequate supply of Epinephrine injectors and inhalers at each site;
  • Ensure appropriate training on the administration of emergency use Epinephrine injectors or inhalers for designated staff members;
  • Distribute and maintain annual parent/guardian consent forms.

No Epinephrine injection shall be given if the proper written consent is not on file with the District. Title 70 O.S. § 1-116.3
