No employee will be required to administer a drug to a student if the employee objects, on the basis of
religious convictions, to administering the drug.

With the exception of diabetes care covered under Policy 5336, the Board shall permit the
administration by a licensed nurse or other authorized staff member of any medication requiring
intravenous or intramuscular injection or the insertion of a device into the body when both the
medication and the procedure are prescribed by a licensed health professional authorized to prescribe
drugs and the nurse/staff member has completed any and all necessary training.

Students who may require administration of an emergency medication may have such medication in
their possession upon written authorization of their parent(s) or, such medication, upon being
identified as aforenoted, may be stored in the health clinic office and administered in accord with this
policy and policy 5336.

The Superintendent shall prepare administrative guidelines, as needed, to address the proper
implementation of this policy.

III. EMERGENCY MEDICAL AUTHORIZATION Adopted 8/1/09

Refer to Board Policy: 5341

Annually, before the first day of October, the Board of Education will distribute to parents or
guardians of all students the Emergency Medical Authorization Form (Form 5341 F1). Thereafter, the
Board shall, within thirty (30) days after the entry of any student for the first time into a public
school in this State, provide the child's parent with a copy of the Emergency Medical Authorization
Form.

When the Form is returned to the District with either Part I or Part II completed, the District shall
keep the Form on file, and shall send the Form to any school to which the student is transferred. Upon
request of the student's parent, the District may permit the parent to make changes in a previously
filed Form, or to file a new Form.

In the event emergency medical treatment for a student is necessary, the District will adhere to the
instructions on the authorization form. If a parent refuses to grant consent for emergency medical
treatment, the parent must indicate in the proper place on the Form (i.e., Part II) the procedure the
parent wishes school authorities to follow in the event of a medical emergency involving his/her child.
