Students with asthma, anaphylaxis or diabetes will be permitted to self-manage such medical conditions upon: (1) development of an asthma or anaphylaxis or a diabetes medical management plan for the student; (2) written request of the student’s parent or guardian; (3) receipt of a signed no liability statement from the parent or guardian; and (4) authorization of the student’s physician or, for asthma and anaphylaxis, a health care professional who prescribed the medication for treatment of the student’s condition.  Students with such a medical management plan and consent may possess the necessary medication to manage their medical condition under the conditions established in the plan and not be subject to discipline for such possession provided that, if the student uses or allows the medication to be used for any reason other than as prescribed or as provided in the plan, the student shall be subject to discipline in accordance with the student conduct policy.
