The outline for a model policy and links to policies can be found in this document. This policy relates to the care and response to a person having an anaphylaxis reaction and addresses the use of epinephrine in a school setting (National Association of School Nurses [NASN], 2014). See “Voluntary Guidelines for Managing Food Allergies in Schools and Early Care and Education Programs,” a document compiled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, for a full food allergy and prevention of allergen exposure plan. Applicable state law as written in School Code (105 ILCS 5/22-30 ) and rule as provided in Administrative Code (23 Ill. Admin. Code 1.540 ) will serve as guidance for this Anaphylaxis Response Policy for Illinois Schools.  \nFood Allergy and Prevention of Allergen Exposure Control Planning Tool  \nNational Association of School Nurses Allergies and Anaphylaxis Resources/Checklists  \nNASN recommends the following considerations for a comprehensive anaphylaxis school policy. School districts and schools need to prepare for school anaphylactic reactions in all children and youth—with or without a prior history of allergies—considering state and local laws, policy, and protocol. A comprehensive school policy should address these elements:  \n1. Individuals covered, including those with first-time anaphylactic emergencies.  \n2. School programs and environments covered.  \n3. Epinephrine:  \na. School prescription and standing order.  \nb. Stock Locations, usually multiple.  \nc. Ensure secure access.  \nd. Stock supply--dosages, number of doses.  \ne. Procurement--initial and periodic.  \nf. Disposal--after use and expiration.  \ng. Administration and documentation.  \nh. Reporting.  \n4. Individuals authorized to administer.  \n5. Emergency protocol for administration.  \n(NASN, 2014)  \nEvery staff member needs to be trained to know the signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis and know how to initiate the emergency protocol. A district’s all-hazard emergency plan should address schools, parents, health care providers, emergency medical services (EMS), and the community at large.  \nOverview  \nAnaphylaxis is a severe systemic allergic reaction from exposure to allergens that is rapid in onset and can cause death. Common allergens include animal dander, fish, latex, milk, shellfish, tree nuts, eggs, insect venom, medications, peanuts, soy, and wheat. A severe allergic reaction usually occurs quickly; death has been reported to occur within minutes. An anaphylactic reaction can occur up to one to two hours after exposure to the allergen. Illinois’ model anaphylaxis policy is based on the Virginia Department of Education Anaphylaxis Policy.  \nIt is the policy of the Illinois State Board of Education, according to  Public Act 102-0413, that each school district must have an anaphylaxis policy. Illinois School Code (105 ILCS 5/2-3 .182(a-g) and Section 22-30 ) require that all public schools, nonsectarian nonpublic schools, and charter schools create and implement policies concerning anaphylaxis prevention and treatment. These policies must also be reviewed and reevaluated every three years and be updated to reflect any necessary and appropriate revisions.  \nPolicy Limitations  \nParents of students with known life-threatening allergies and/or anaphylaxis should provide the school with written instructions from the student’s health care provider for handling anaphylaxis and all necessary medications for implementing the student-specific order on an annual basis. This may be provided as an Individual Health Care Plan, an Emergency Action Plan, or as part of a student’s Individualized Education Program or Section 504 Plan.  \nThis anaphylaxis response policy is not intended to replace student-specific orde","cbCaimYXnXa6IEhS","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimYXnXa6IEhS","pdf",320313,"English","# Policy Overview\n## Definition and Scope\n## Legal Requirements and Review Cycle\n# Comprehensive Policy Planning\n## Covered Individuals and Environments\n## Epinephrine Control Planning Tool\n## Authorized Personnel and Training\n# Emergency Response and Implementation\n## Emergency Protocol for Administration\n## Policy Limitations and Student-Specific Orders\n## Terms Related to the Policy","[{\"question\":\"What is anaphylaxis, and why is it an urgent emergency in schools?\",\"answer\":\"Anaphylaxis is a severe systemic allergic reaction that is rapid in onset and can be fatal.
