For parent(s)/guardian(s) of students who have asthma:

I authorize the School District and its employees and agents, to allow my child or ward to possess and
use his or her asthma medication (1) while in school, (2) while at a school-sponsored activity, (3)
while under the supervision of school personnel, or (4) before or after normal school activities, such
as while in before-school or after-school care on school-operated property. Illinois law requires the
School District to inform parent(s)/guardian(s) that it, and its employees and agents, incur no liability,
except for willful and wanton conduct, as a result of any injury arising from a student’s selfadministration
of medication (105 ILCS 5/22-30).

By signing below, I agree:

1. That I am primarily responsible for administering medication to my child. However, in the event
    that I am unable to do so or in the event of a medical emergency, I hereby authorize the School
    District and its employees and agents, in my behalf and stead, to administer or to attempt to
    administer to my child (or to allow my child to self-administer, while under the supervision of the
    employees and agents of the School District), lawfully prescribed medication in the manner
    described above. I acknowledge that it may be necessary for the administration of
    medications to my child to be performed by an individual other than a school nurse, and
    specifically consent to such practices, and

2. To indemnify and hold harmless the school district and its employees and agents against any
   claims, except a claim based on willful and wanton conduct, arising out of the self-administration
   of medication by the pupil.
