It is important for all of the parties listed to understand the policy on who, when, and where medications can be administered.

Schools have to put a crisis plan into effect the first day of school. Each school needs to have a special team to handle crisis situations within the school. School administrative should make sure that the school is equipped with different supplies when it comes to a crisis.

If these situations do occur the school administrative will have to be prepared to handle the situations. First thing is to always call a meeting with the administrative team and the student with the situation. Make sure that the student is in an isolated place and not around other students until they are picked up or released.
