[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 474265, member: 1722"] There have been a series of missteps this year from the district on down: She was assigned a new (untrained) monitor at the district level after notifying the school nurse and myself that she was assigned a seasoned (& epipen trained) monitor. This triggered... The school nurse missing that there was a new monitor, so there was no training completed by the nurse. This was offset by Duckie's old monitor (now on another route) verbally telling the new monitor that she MUST get the epipen from Duckie's building and get with the nurse on "the plan". (I really miss Mrs. P!) But... the new monitor says she went to the school office at the beginning of the school year and was told by someone that Duckie is self-directed. This is either a lie by the monitor or a substitute in the office made a huge mistake. Who knows. But... the monitor knew as October 4th that the pen must be on the bus. And (I think this is the real problem) the monitor was having trouble getting the pen with her schedule even though the former monitor had absolutely no trouble at all for the two prior years. So the answer was for me to provide another epipen set that the monitor would carry. But unfortunately... There was the day a few weeks ago that the no one picked up the monitor's posted substitute job in the afternoon. The district person called my home and cell to find out if I wanted Duckie to ride the bus or if I would pick up. I didn't get either message because I was at WORK and she didn't bother calling down the list to my job or any of husband's contacts. The school office secretary, after watching the train wreck in progressed for most of the day, walked into the principal's office and told him the she was taking over because Duckie didn't have safe transport and it was a half hour until dismissal. So you'd think that everything would be covered by now, right? No! The monitor needed another sub last week and never notified said sub about the pen. So I took Duckie off the bus and drove her in. That's when I told the school office secretary that I no longer trusted the district to be able to keep Duckie safe by having the epipen that I provided available whenever she rides the bus, so I now need proof with every trip and needed that to be part of the emergency plan. The secretary agreed that it was a good option. [/QUOTE]
