I understand: I must provide the Liberty School District with an Authorization for Administration of Medication at School Form for this emergency medication signed by myself and my student’s Licensed Healthcare Provider. The Medication Authorization Form and emergency care plan must be renewed each school year. The School Nurse will work with me to prepare an Emergency Care Plan and/or Individualized Health Plan for my student while at school. This plan will be reviewed and signed by both my student’s Licensed Healthcare Provider and myself. I am responsible for providing the prescribed emergency medication for my student in its original container with the prescriptive label attached. The medication must be current and not past its expiration date. The School Nurse recommends that we provide back-up emergency medications in the school office. I understand that I do not have to provide back-up medications for the school. If I do not wish to provide back-up medications for the school, my student will be required to demonstrate to the bus driver or school secretary (if driving or driven to school) that they have their medications on their persons as they board the bus or arrive at school. I understand that my student athlete will also have to demonstrate to their coach that they are carrying their emergency medications on their persons in order to participate in athletics. If my student receives any emergency medication, I may be required to pick them up from school and be responsible for monitoring them for signs of further breathing difficulty or allergic reaction. If my student does not have their emergency medications with them, I understand that I will be notified to pick them up from school or bring their emergency medications to school for them. I understand that my student athlete will also have to demonstrate to their coach that they are carrying their emergency medications on their persons in order to participate in athletics. The School Nurse will review with my student his/her knowledge of their health concern, the proper and prescribed timing for using their emergency medications and the correct administration of the emergency medications as prescribed by their healthcare provider. That the permission to possess and self-administer emergency medication may be revoked by the principal if it is determined that my student is not safely and effectively self-administering their own medication. I authorize the school registered nurse and/or nurse trained and delegated school staff to administer my student’s emergency medications as needed and directed by their licensed healthcare provider. I authorize the school registered nurse to communicate with my student’s healthcare provider about their medication or emergency care plan.
