Parent Notification of SB66:

The purpose of this notification is to inform parents/guardians that in accordance with Chapter 38, Subchapter E of the Texas Education Code, Kemp Independent School District (KISD) has allows authorized and trained personnel to administer an epinephrine auto-injector to a person who is reasonably believed to be experiencing an anaphylactic reaction on a school campus.

Each campus will be supplied with stock epinephrine auto-injectors and standing orders from an advising physician to be used for cases of unsuspected anaphylaxis.

KISD will ensure that a sufficient number of school personnel at each campus are trained to administer epinephrine so that at least one trained individual is present while the campus is open. For purposes of this policy, a campus is considered open beginning with the first hour of instruction through the last hour of instruction. See Board Policy FFAC (Local). Mylan will fund the program through Epipen4schools. If funding from an outside source ceases, the implementation of Stock Epinephrine Auto-Injectors will be re-evaluated by KISD.

Parents of students with known life-threatening anaphylaxis should provide the school with all necessary medications for implementing the student- specific order on an annual basis. This guideline is not intended to replace student-specific orders or parent-provided individual medications.
