[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, she'll be in preK, so not at the self-administer and I assume not even at the self-carry level.  Also can't meet with teacher - won't know who it is, and this isn't the sort of thing I can leave up to chance, hoping I get a teacher who works with us.  The nurse is the one who outlined the policy - I asked the principal and he directed me to the nurse, so I'm not sure that there's a different policy, but I can definitely ask.  I'd like to do so in an assertive, this needs to be taken seriously, but not aggressive I'm going to alienate you (yet) sort of way.  But I guess I'd like to understand the process and possibility of getting the school to work with us.  If they won't, I don't think attending there is an option (which will be a real problem from an early stages/sped placement perspective...).  Yes, nothing will likely happen, but the bad outcome if it does is not worth even minimal risk.[/quote]

If your intended principal does not know (or care to know the policy) this is a big problem.  You want to be assertive so assert yourself and go the principal and discuss the policy, the principal of the school is ultimately the one who is responsible for the policy, not the nurse.  It's not like you are asking for special treatment.  You had one conversation with a person who is not running the school and you are then jumping ahead and worrying about getting the school to work with you and/or options if they don't.  Take a step back and talk to the principal. [/quote]
