Strongly Opposed
 

We have had several added expenses in licensure requirements recently including water testing for homes on town and city water costing hundreds of dollars. Students with known allergies can send in an Epi Pen as they do in school. A requirement to keep Benedryl on hand for emergency use is more affordable and can be uses as directed with parental consent.
