Governor Rauner signed Public Act 099-0843 into effect. The Public Act requires school districts to have an Asthma Emergency Response Protocol in place, provide training to staff on asthma symptoms and treatment every two years, and ask parents of students diagnosed with asthma to provide the school with an Asthma Action Plan annually.
If your child needs to receive medication at school or will be self-carrying/self-administering asthma medication at school, please have the school medication form completed by your child’s physician and complete the parent section.
These forms are also available at each school and at the District Office. Students not in compliance with the state-mandated health examination and immunization requirements will be excluded from school until such compliance.
