General Use Emergency Medication Policies and Availability
As of July 1, 2025, OLH/SL has adopted a policy allowing the availability of a stock bronchodilator through the health suite for use in the event of an emergency when a student is, or is perceived to be experiencing asthma-related symptoms or respiratory distress and the student does not have a bronchodilator of their own readily available. The stock bronchodilator is for emergency use during normal school days. It is not available outside of normal school hours or on field trips.Β Individual disposable spacers will be used for the general use inhaler. Students with a known history of asthma are still expected to maintain emergency action plans, medical orders, and their own supply of emergency medication.

As of September, 2023 OLH/SL has adopted a policy allowing the availability of stock epinephrine in the health suite for use in the event of an anaphylactic emergency. This epinephrine is for emergency use during normal school days and is not dependent on allergy history. It is not available outside of normal school hours or on field trips. Students with a known history of severe allergies are still expected to maintain emergency action plans, medical orders, and their own supply of emergency medication.
