FL H0369

District school boards must list the emergency response agencies responsible for notifying the school district of each type of emergency in their emergency response policy.

Public schools may purchase and maintain epinephrine auto-injectors in secure locations for emergency use during anaphylactic reactions, with protocols developed by licensed physicians.

Epinephrine auto-injectors may be administered by students authorized to self-administer or by trained school personnel following adopted protocols.

School districts, their employees, agents, and providing physicians are immune from liability for epinephrine auto-injector use unless the trained personnel's action is willful and wanton.

Private schools receive the same authorization and protections for purchasing epinephrine auto-injectors and emergency notification procedures as public schools, effective July 1, 2013.
