[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 175335, member: 4040"] Our district has nurses full time on the junior high and high school campuses, and half time on the elementary, with a health aide covering the other half of the time. medications etc. should definitely not be the teacher's responsibility. As a substitute teacher, I am not comfortable with issuing medications, and I wouldn't want someone who did not know my child issuing medications to her. I have been in classrooms that are "peanut-free zones", and I have a basic idea of how to use an epi-pen, but that's as far as it goes. Most teachers are really good about leaving clear instructions about their students' medical issues, so I have an idea of what to look for. [/QUOTE]
