Inhalers???

Finishing up my first year and am planning on some big changes for next year. My offices are both very outdated and I can not handle it. Just a tad OCD, lol.

My question is.... Inhalers!!! Can they legally be placed in an area that will not be locked.

My thought was the over the door shoe holder. My office will be locked in the evenings.

Currently they are in my stock med cabinet and its so crowded and kids don't really have access to them very quickly. I want to make it easier for those kids in the event I am not in there and they need it, they can grab it. My EPI's are in an unlocked box on the wall, so I figured it is kind of the same concept. Thanks in advance for the help!!

    They should take them home over the summer and provide new meds with a new script next year.

    I always lock up the kids' meds. They aren't mine, and I don't want to pay for them if they get lost.

    Epipens & inhalers are in an unlocked cabinet - kept unlocked incase I am not around for teacher/adult to be able to grab them if necessary. I do not allow students to grab their own inhaler from the closet. Only meds I keep locked up are the ADD type of meds I administer daily. I lock my office door when I leave for the day.

    In my school district, ALL medications are required to be in a locked cabinet. The front office assistants have a set of keys to the medication cabinets since they are trained to given medications in my absence. The only exception is if a student has permission to self-carry their medications and then they are responsible to keep it secured in their backpack/purse/lunchbox (only Epi, Inhalers, Diabetic supplies, or oral enzymes can be self-carried with a physician and parent signature to do so).

    Ditto...except, I have a direct line of sight to my inhaler cabinet from my desk so I will allow an older kid to get their inhaler while I'm watching them. But that's for MY convenience:angrybird10:

    What does your policy direct you to do? Ours says that EpiPens, inhalers, and diabetic emergency supplies are to be kept in an unlocked cabinet in my locked office.

    About three years ago I bought a cabinet with a passcode instead of a key. That way I could lock it sometimes and leave it unlocked during the day.
