The Tipton Community School District seeks to provide a safe environment for students, staff, and visitors who are at risk of potentially life-threatening incidents that include severe allergic reactions and respiratory distress. Therefore, it is the policy of the district to annually obtain a prescription for epinephrine auto-injectors from a licensed healthcare professional, in the name of the school district, for administration by a school nurse or personnel trained and authorized to administer to a student or individual who may be experiencing an anaphylactic reaction. 

Procurement and maintenance of supply: The district shall stock a minimum of the following for each attendance center:  

• Two child doses and two adult doses epinephrine auto-injector 

The supply of such medication shall be maintained in a secure, dark, temperature-controlled location in each school building. 

The school nurse shall routinely check stock of medication and document in a log monthly:  

• The expiration date 

The employee shall be responsible for ensuring the district replaces, as soon as reasonably possible, any logged epinephrine auto-injector that is used, close to expiration, or discolored or has particles visible in the liquid. 

Training: A school nurse or personnel trained and authorized may provide or administer any of the medication listed in this policy from a school supply to a student or individual if the authorized personnel or school nurse reasonably and in good faith believes the student or individual is having an anaphylactic reaction. Training to obtain a signed certificate to become personnel authorized to administer an epinephrine auto-injector shall consist of the requirements established by law. 

Authorized personnel will be required to provide a procedural skills demonstration to the school nurse demonstrating competency in the administration of stock epinephrine autoinjectors if the following occur:  

• Failure to administer an epinephrine auto to a student or individual by proper route, failure to administer the correct dosage, or failure to administer an epinephrine auto injector according to generally accepted standards of practice (“medication error”); or  

• Accidental injection of an epinephrine auto-injector into a digit of the authorized personnel administering the medication (“medication incident”). 

Reporting: The district will contact emergency medical services (911) immediately after a stock epinephrine auto-injector is administered to a student or individual. The school nurse or authorized personnel will remain with the student or individual until emergency medical services arrive. 

Within 48 hours, the district will report to the Iowa Department of Education:  

• Each medication incident with the administration of stock epinephrine  

• Each medication error with the administration of stock epinephrine; or  

• The administration of a stock epinephrine auto-injector 

As provided by law, the district, board, authorized personnel or school nurse, and the prescriber shall not be liable for any injury arising from the provision, administration, failure to administer, or assistance in the administration of an epinephrine auto-injector provided they acted reasonably and in good faith. 

The superintendent may develop an administrative process to implement this policy.

• Provide school staff a list of alternative ways to reward children. Foods and beverages will not be used as a reward, or withheld as punishment.
• Develop a plan to promote staff health and wellness.
• Engage students and parents, through taste-tests of new school meal items and surveys to identify new, healthful, and appealing food choices.
• Share information about the nutritional content of meals with parents and students.
• Support the consumption of breakfast at school by implementing alternative breakfast options to the extent possible (e.g., grab n’ go, breakfast in the classroom, breakfast after 1^st period, etc.).
• Permit students to bring and carry water bottles filled with water throughout the day.
• Make drinking water available where school meals are served during mealtimes.
• Encourage fundraising efforts held outside school hours to sell only non-food items, promote physical activity, or include foods and beverages that meet or exceed the Smart Snacks nutrition standards.
• Strive to provide students with at least 10 minutes to eat after sitting down for breakfast and 20 minutes after sitting down for lunch.

Public Involvement: There is a process for permitting parents, students, representatives of the school food authority, teachers of physical education, school health professionals, the school board, administrators and the public to participate in the development, implementation, and periodic review and update of the policy.

• The district has a local wellness policy committee to advise the district on the development, implementation, and improvement of the school wellness policy.
