Requires school districts to maintain supply of nasal rescue medication and oxygen for seizure emergencies; provides for training of designees to administer nasal rescue medication and oxygen when school nurse is not physical present.
This bill requires New Jersey public school districts to maintain nasal rescue medication (like diazepam or midazolam spray) and portable oxygen devices in accessible locations throughout school buildings for students with seizure conditions. It mandates that school nurses designate trained staff to administer these treatments during emergencies when the nurse is unavailable, following standardized training protocols. Parental written consent and a liability waiver are required for staff to administer medication, with school districts reimbursed for related costs. The policy applies to all schools during regular hours and school-sponsored events, focusing on immediate response to seizure emergencies.
