Here are key points that are true about using a district-issued EpiPen based on guidelines and policies:

• Each EpiPen should have an appropriate pharmacy label with the student's or staff member's name, and school staff should be aware of the location of the EpiPen.
• Emergency and treatment medications including EpiPens are kept near the allergic student as decided by school nurse and parent/guardian discussions.
• Students or staff with severe allergies are recommended to provide their own EpiPen for school use.
• A student carrying and self-administering their own EpiPen must have authorization signed by a parent/guardian and physician on file.
• Districts implement plans for managing students with life-threatening allergies including keeping epinephrine auto-injectors stocked and available.
• EpiPens must be stored properly at room temperature, not refrigerated, and away from heat or sunlight.
• After use, EpiPens must be restocked as soon as reasonably possible, generally no later than two weeks.
• Districts maintain documentation of EpiPens supplied, used, and destroyed when expired.
• School health personnel or trained volunteers authorized by the district may administer an EpiPen to anyone suffering or believed to be suffering from anaphylaxis.
• Standing orders or prescriptions from authorized physicians may be required for districts to obtain and maintain stock EpiPens.

These points reflect best practices and legal requirements for district-issued EpiPens in schools, focusing on safety, accessibility, authorization, training, and proper storage and recordkeeping.
