[NYSRPS Member] EPI Pen

[Amber Stickle]

Hello!
I am wondering what other Recreation Departments do about EPI pens.  We
have also been instructed not to administer medicine, however, it seems
like more and more children are needing to carry around an EPI pen to do
allergies.  What do you tell your staff?  What do you tell your parents? 
Does it differ if you do or do not have a nurse on board?  Does a first
aid certification change anything?  Any guidance would be appreciated.  I
am asked to re-evaluate our policy and then propose something to the town
attorney.  

Thanks for your help!
