One more thing-- DO NOT NOT NOT allow your school to keep your child's only epinephrine in a locked location. PERIOD.
If your child is in anaphylaxis, seconds matter. What if the nurse is attending to another child at the time and isn't in her office, hmmm? What if she isn't in the building? How long will it take to unlock them if nobody knows exactly where the key is? This is something that the AAAAI and FAAN both say is absolutely WRONG from a management standpoint. Emergency meds MUST NOT be locked.

I'd want an inhaler in the same room as my child. It is very easy for asthma to be aggravated by anxiety. What if there was a lockdown and the inhaler was in a different room?

if you do get it in the 504 that she can self carry make sure to write on the 504 that school personnel will be responsible for administering.

There's little that a PARENT, seemingly, can do in these situations other than file a grievance and go through due process. It's lawyer time when a school starts to pull stunts like defying a physician's order.
Because if the school is following their own "procedure" for 504 elgibility, plans, and accommodations, then OCR will NOT get involved.
Now, the physician may well have a beef here, and that (I have always thought) is probaby the better way to attack this sort of thing.

***UPDATE*** ADA/other Federal laws require the administration of Epi-pens? (http://foodallergysupport.olicentral.com/index.php/topic,5315.0.html)

I am starting the school paperwork for my child and it says something like "our staff is not legally obligated to administer medications (including dpi pens) and can not be held liable."
So is that true? Are they not legally responsible?

QuoteA sticking point that may require clarification is that self-carry does not always mean the child can be expected to self-administer injectable epinephrine in the event of anaphylaxis. It does, however, increase the immediate access to this life-saving drug by school staff who have received anaphylaxis training.

This is super important as relates to part of a line-item for "Emergency Reaction Plan" as part of 504 Plan in school:
ALWAYS send the student in the transport with the unused epi(s) so he/she may use as needed!
