Consensus Statement<br />
Legal Issues<br />
School board adm<strong>in</strong>istrators should refer to the specific acts and regulations <strong>in</strong> their prov<strong>in</strong>ce or<br />
territory. Accord<strong>in</strong>g to the Canadian School Boards Association, every prov<strong>in</strong>ce and territory <strong>in</strong> Canada<br />
has one or more statutes regulat<strong>in</strong>g education, from which school boards derive their authority and<br />
responsibilities. Some jurisdictions also have additional requirements conta<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong> regulations or<br />
guidel<strong>in</strong>es issued by the m<strong>in</strong>istries or departments of education.<br />
Our general recommendations are as follows:<br />
• Parents should sign a consent form allow<strong>in</strong>g the school staff to adm<strong>in</strong>ister ep<strong>in</strong>ephr<strong>in</strong>e when<br />
necessary, <strong>in</strong> an allergic emergency.<br />
• Parents should not sign a waiver absolv<strong>in</strong>g the school of responsibility if ep<strong>in</strong>ephr<strong>in</strong>e was not<br />
<strong>in</strong>jected. <strong>Schools</strong> should not ask parents to sign such a waiver.<br />
