Administering Undesignated Medications to Students

Epinephrine Auto-Injectors

Each school maintains a supply of undesignated epinephrine auto-injectors in the name of the District which is provided and/or administered as necessary according to State law. A school nurse or trained personnel may administer an undesignated epinephrine auto-injector to a person when they, in good faith, believe the person is having an anaphylactic reaction. Undesignated epinephrine auto-injectors are for emergency purposes only. Parents must still supply their child's own epinephrine auto-injector for school use.

Undesignated Opioid Antagonists

Each school maintains a supply of undesignated opioid antagonist medication (i.e. Naloxone) in the name of District 103, which is provided and/or administered as necessary according to State law. A school nurse or trained personnel may administer the undesignated opioid antagonist medication to a person when they, in good faith, believe the person is having a potential overdose of an opioid medication. Undesignated opioid antagonist medications are for emergency purposes only and will only be used accordingly.
