Roles of Responsibility
Hi guys,
Just wanted to know your thoughts. It is the classroom teacher’s responsibility to manage student medical plans / Asthma plans and to notify parents when a plan is nearing its expiry, or is that admins job?
On our schools system I had a student who had asthma in his medical records but I did not have an asthma plan given to me (this student has only been at school for 3 weeks) I asked admin for the documents and they said it was my responsibility to follow up with the parents. From my understanding all of this should have been dealt with during enrolment and then passed on to me.
The thing is I had no idea this student even had asthma, until I noticed he was coughing and notified the parents, they then confirmed he has asthma. I went into the school system and checked his medical records and it stated asthma.
Nothing came about of it, I’m not in trouble, the student is fine. I’m just genuinely wondering if this is appropriate for me to have asked admin where the documents are but instead pushed it onto me like it was my responsibility to do this on my end.
