Hope he learned his lesson.
See somebody in need, even in life or death situations, let them suffer and die or you might get in trouble for helping.

What a joke. Props to him. School is insane. Who emails a nurse and waits for a response in an emergency?

On top of how outrageous this is, let's not ignore the fact that the teacher EMAILED the nurse instead of calling or having a child run and get her.

A teacher who does not want to be sued.
People give flack to the public education system in the US, but the policies that allow things like this happening are the result of parents suing school districts and winning ridiculous judgements. In turn, the school districts enact policies to protect themselves and their employees. Policies that force students to give their inhalers to school nurses instead of keeping them on a landyard or in their classroom. Policies that have zero-tolerance against walking out of class.
So glad I no longer work in that field.

Yeah. I figured it was some weird policy like that but idk. It annoys me when people let crap like that over ride common sense. I know how it is though with public schools. So many rules they have to follow.

She probably didn't want to get fired or suspended. I'm old, back in my day they have that telecom system in the classrooms or have a kid run down to the nurse to get her.

Probably protocol now a days. Things have changed since we were in school.
I knew it had to be something like this. People are sue happy, and despite your best efforts if something went wrong you will be held responsible. It is a sad situation but common decency is no longer allowed in this world. She was probably suspended because she could have made things worse event though in this instance she was helpful.
Right, if she intervened and something went wrong the first thing people will say is why didn't she call the nurse
. Those days are long gone, especially now with so many children having all these issues. So many kids on meds, while the others have severe developmental issues. It is a different time now, and we just have to adapt.

"In the event of a serious matter pertaining to the health of a student, faculty, or staff member, immediately email the in-school nursing staff and diligently await a reply."
Do they even still have intercoms in the classrooms or phones? Society is backwards in some ways today.
You see people posting "Call me" on other folks timelines instead of calling them, texting them when something is important instead of calling them. Our communication skills are in the drink.

I glossed over the e-mail part 
They really must've wanted her to die.
They had phones in rooms in my schools and an intercom.
What they think gonna happen if the nurse aint near her computer?

Wasn't there another case where a student gave one of their inhalers to a classmate having an attack, and she got suspended for a 'controlled substance'

I wouldn't even consider it as a suspension if I were him.
Think of it as, a well deserved vacation for your service.
Give the boy a medal.
I'm saying though, why the **** are they sending emails to the nurses office?
Like, do you email the hospital your emergencies and just hope they send an ambulance?
