Totally agree but we also all know how far that logic would go in excusing a med error... not far at all....
This was one of the reasons that I have always assumed it was the end of the month... but realized today I wasn't actually sure (my MA h...
I think I know the answer to this but just confirming....
If a med (lets say an epi pen...) has an expiration date of 5/22, should we stop using it at the beginning or end of the month?

We don't have any rules that I know of... We do have free options for breakfast and lunch so no kids should go without if they really want to eat. That being said, of course there are kids that don't eat (well) or much at all. We generally only get...

It's an interesting idea. Yes, teachers do have a significant say about what goes on in their class. Often different teachers in the same school have different policies on hats, eating, electronics, etc. and I can see how a teacher might want to ha...
