are informed, the SACC staff will employ their best efforts to report to the school nurse after the
child’s use of medication in the form of a self-medication written form. This reporting to the school
nurse may take place that day of self medication or the next day. Best efforts will be utilized by

by the child and, as a consequence, I release and waive any right I may have or cause of action which
may arise as a result of self-medication. The parents or guardians shal indemnify and hold harmless
the Monmouth-Ocean Educational Services district and its employees or agents against any claims
arising out of the self-administration or medication by the child.
