§  916-b.  Pupils with diabetes. 1. The board of education or trustees
  of each school district and board of  cooperative  educational  services
  shall  allow  pupils  who  have  been  diagnosed  with diabetes to carry
  glucagon and  carry  and  use  insulin  through  appropriate  medication
  delivery  devices  and  equipment  and/or to carry and use equipment and
  supplies necessary to check blood glucose levels and ketone  levels,  as
  prescribed  by a physician or other duly authorized healthcare provider,
  during the school day on school property and at any school  function  as
  such  terms  are  defined,  respectively, by subdivisions one and two of
  section eleven of this chapter, with parental consent  and  the  written
  permission of a physician or other duly authorized health care provider.
  The  written permission shall include an attestation by the physician or
  the health care provider  confirming  the  following:  (a)  the  pupil's
  diagnosis of diabetes makes the delivery of insulin and glucagon through
  appropriate  medication delivery devices during the school day on school
  property or at any school function necessary and/or  makes  the  use  of
  equipment  and  supplies to check blood glucose levels and ketone levels
  necessary; and (b) that the pupil has demonstrated that he  or  she  can
  self-administer  the  prescribed  insulin effectively and can self check
  glucose or ketone levels and  can  independently  follow  the  treatment
  orders  prescribed  by  the  physician  or  other authorized health care
  provider  in  the  written  permission.  The  written  permission  shall
  identify  prescribed  blood  glucose  tests,  ketone  tests, insulin and
  glucagon to be  used  by  the  pupil  at  school  and/or  during  school
  functions.  If insulin or glucagon is prescribed, the written permission
  shall include the name of the type of insulin, the dose or  dose  range,
  the  times  when  the  medication  is  to  be taken, the type of insulin
  delivery system and any other information prescribed by the commissioner
  in regulation, after consultation with the  commissioner  of  health.  A
  record  of  such  consent  and  permission  shall  be  maintained in the
  student's cumulative  health  record.  In  addition,  upon  the  written
  request  of  a  parent  or  person  in  parental  relation, the board of
  education or trustees of a school  district  and  board  of  cooperative
  educational  services  shall allow such pupils to maintain extra insulin
  and an insulin delivery  system,  glucagon,  blood  glucose  meters  and
  related  supplies  used  to  treat such pupil's diabetes in the care and
  custody of a licensed nurse, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, or
  physician employed by such district or board of cooperative  educational
  services, and shall be readily accessible to such pupil. Nothing in this
  section  shall  require  a  school  district  or  board  of  cooperative
  educational services to retain a  licensed  nurse,  nurse  practitioner,
  physician  assistant,  or  physician  solely  for  the purpose of taking
  custody of extra insulin and an insulin delivery system, glucagon, blood
  glucose meters and related supplies used to treat such pupil's diabetes,
  or  require  that  a  licensed  nurse,  nurse  practitioner,   physician
  assistant,  or  physician be available at all times in a school building
  for the purpose of taking  custody  of  extra  insulin  and  an  insulin
  delivery system, glucagon, blood glucose meters and related supplies. In
  addition, the medication and devices, equipment and supplies provided by
  the  pupil's  parents  or  persons  in  parental  relation shall be made
  available  to  the  pupil  as  needed  in  accordance  with  the  school
  district's  or board of cooperative educational services' policy and the
  orders prescribed in the written permission of the  physician  or  other
  authorized health care provider. Pupils with diabetes may also carry any
  food  necessary  to  treat  hypoglycemia pursuant to the school district
  policy,  provided,  however,  such  school  district  policy  shall  not
  unreasonably interfere with a pupil's ability to treat hypoglycemia.
2. A school district, board of cooperative educational services and/or
  their agents or employees shall incur no legal or financial liability as
  a  result  of  any  harm  or injury sustained by a pupil or other person
  caused by reasonable and good faith compliance with this section.
