2023 Oklahoma Statutes
Title 70. Schools
§70-1210.196.9. Glucagon stock.
A. A school district board of education may elect to stock glucagon to treat a student with diabetes who experiences a hypoglycemic emergency or if the student’s prescribed glucagon is not available on site or has expired. A board of education that elects to stock glucagon shall adopt a policy that requires:
1. The school district to inform, in writing, the parent or legal guardian of each student who has a diabetes medical management plan pursuant to Section 1210.196.3 of Title 70 of the Oklahoma Statutes that a school nurse, a school employee trained by a health care professional, or a volunteer diabetes care assistant, as defined by Section 1210.196.2 of Title 70 of the Oklahoma Statutes, may administer, with parent or legal guardian written consent but without a health care provider order, glucagon to a student with diabetes whom the school nurse, trained employee, or volunteer diabetes care assistant in good faith believes is having a hypoglycemic emergency or if the student’s prescribed glucagon is not available on site or has expired;
2. A waiver of liability executed by a parent or legal guardian be on file with the school district prior to administration of glucagon; and
3. The school district to designate the employee responsible for obtaining the glucagon at each school site.
B. Written consent and a waiver of liability executed pursuant to subsection A of this section shall be effective for the school year for which it is granted and shall be renewed each subsequent school year.
C. A licensed physician who has prescriptive authority may write a prescription for glucagon to a school district in the name of the district as a body corporate specified in Section 5-105 of Title 70 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which shall be maintained at each school site in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Provided, however, that nothing in this section shall be construed as creating or imposing a duty on a school district to maintain glucagon at a school site or sites.
D. In the event a student is believed to be having a hypoglycemic emergency, a school employee shall contact 911 and shall contact the student’s parent or legal guardian as soon as possible.
