For Completion by Parent, an individual who has executed a caretaker relative educational authorization affidavit, or Guardian.
As the parent, individual who has executed a caretaker relative educational authorization affidavit, or guardian of the above named student, I confirm that this student has been instructed by his/her health care provider on the proper use of this/these medication(s). He/she has demonstrated to me that he/she understands the proper use of this medication. He/she is physically, mentally, and behaviorally capable to assume this responsibility. He/she has my permission to self-medicate as listed above, if needed. If he/she has used an auto-injectable epinephrine, he/ she understands the need to alert an adult that emergency medical personnel need to be called. If he/she has used his/her asthma inhaler as prescribed and does not have relief from an asthma attack, he/she is to alert an adult.
I also acknowledge that the school district or nonpublic school may not incur liability as a result of any injury arising from the self-administration of medication by the student and that I shall indemnify and hold harmless the school district or nonpublic school and its employees and agents against any claims, except a claim based on an act or omission that is the result of gross negligence, willful and wanton conduct, or an intentional tort.
I agree to also work with the school in establishing a plan for use and storage of backup medication if prescribed, as above, by my child’s physician. This will include a predetermined location to keep backup medication to which my child has access in the event of an asthma or anaphylaxis emergency.
Authorization is hereby granted to release this information to appropriate school personnel and classroom teachers.
I understand that in the event the medication dosage is altered, a new “self-administration form” must be completed, or the physician may rewrite the order on his prescription pad and I, the parent/guardian, will sign the new form and assure the new order is attached.
I understand it is my responsibility to pick up any unused medication at the end of the school year, and the medication that is not picked up will be disposed of.
