Physician/HCP Authorization Signature_________________________________ Date __________________
In the event of a medical emergency, I hereby authorize the School District and its employees and agents to administer or to attempt to administer to my child (or to allow my child to self-administer pursuant to State law, while under the supervision of the employees and agents of the School District), lawfully prescribed medication in the manner described above. This includes administration of undesignated epinephrine injectors and/or asthma medication, to the extent the School District maintains such undesignated supplies.
I acknowledge that it may be necessary for the administration of medications to my child to be performed by an individual other than a school nurse and specifically consent to such practices, and by signing below, I agree to indemnify and hold harmless the School District and its employees and agents against any claims, except a claim based on willful and wanton conduct, arising out of the administration or the child’s self-administration of medication.
The following is applicable only to parents/guardians of students who need to carry and use their epinephrine
injector and/or asthma medication: I authorize the School District and its employees and agents, to allow my child to self-carry and self-administer his or her epinephrine injector and/or asthma medication: (1) while in school, (2) while at a school-sponsored activity, (3) while under the supervision of school personnel, or (4) before or after normal school activities, such as while in before-school or after-school care on school-operated property. Illinois law requires the School District to inform parents/guardians that it, and its employees and agents, incur no liability, except for willful and wanton conduct, as a result of any injury arising from a student’s self-carry and self-administration of an epinephrine injector or asthma medication.
