Allen ISD updates policy to allow stock epinephrine and respiratory distress medication for overnight trips
Summary
The board approved a SHAC recommendation to amend Policy FFAC (LOCAL) to permit stock epinephrine, stock respiratory distress medication, and stock nonprescription medication to be carried on overnight trips; the motion passed unanimously.
The Allen ISD Board of Trustees approved a change to Board Policy FFAC (LOCAL) on June 15 that permits the district to maintain stock emergency medications for overnight trips. The change implements a recommendation from the School Health Advisory Council (SHAC) and specifically adds stock epinephrine, stock respiratory distress medication, and stock nonprescription medication for overnight events.
Clint Cypert, Executive Director of Operations for Support Services, discussed the policy language and the board voted 7 to 0 to adopt the SHAC recommendation. Amanda Campbell moved the motion and Becca Kinnear seconded. The policy update is intended to allow staff to respond quickly to medical emergencies on district-sponsored overnight activities; the transcript does not list protocol details or dosing guidance, which would be developed administratively.
