Epi-pen is a no
 

Child-day care centers are now expected to pay or background checks and now Epi-pens and possible nurse to administer. Also, what does a center do if they have multiple children in need of an Epi-pen?

I propose that schools have at least 3-5 staff on-site who are able to administer in case of an emergency. Schools already required to pay for so many trainings and end up with unqualified staff to begin with and will now be required to spend more. No thank you please!
