Asthma is an inflammatory disease of the respiratory tract.聽 Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening allergic reaction that involves systems of the entire body. Anaphylaxis is a medical emergency that requires immediate medical treatment and follow-up care by an allergist/immunologist.

It is the policy of Bellingham Public Schools that students with asthma or anaphylaxis are afforded the opportunity to self-administer prescribed medications. The student鈥檚 parent/ guardian will submit a written request and other documentation required by the school. The student鈥檚 licensed health care provider must provide a written treatment plan.

The student must demonstrate to the school鈥檚 professional registered nurse that the student is competent to possess and self-administer prescribed medications during school and at school-sponsored events.

The superintendent will establish procedures that implement this policy and follow emergency rescue procedures outlined in the most recent edition of AMES, Asthma Management in Educational Settings, in cases of suspected asthma and the emergency rescue procedures outlined in the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction鈥檚 in cases of suspected anaphylaxis.
