A new law recently passed addressing the care of students with asthma in Illinois schools. If your child has asthma, it is required by law that he/she has an Asthma Action Plan on file at school from their doctor. An asthma action plan is a written plan developed by your child’s doctor to help control his/her asthma while at school. It allows us to know the daily treatment plan, how to control your child’s asthma long term, and how to handle worsening asthma, or attacks. You will find the standardized Asthma Action Plan in the drop down menu to the left; however, your child’s physician may have something similar that he/she uses, which is accepted too. Our goal is to be able to respond to asthma symptoms and/or emergencies, so that your child is safe and able to participate in school.
