That I am primarily responsible for administering medication to my child.  However,, in the event that I am unable to do so or in the event of a medical emergency, I hereby authorize the School District and its employee and agents, in my behalf and stead, to administer or attempt to administer to my child (or to allow my child to self-administer, while under the supervision of the employees and agents of the School District), lawfully prescribed medication in the manner described above.  I acknowledge that it may be necessary for the administration of medication to my child to be performed by an individual other than a school nurse, and specifically consent to such practices, and to indemnify and hold harmless the School District and its employees and agents against any claims, except a claim based on willful and wanton conduct, arising out of the self-administration of medication by the pupil.
