The school nurse may create a school emergency response team kit (SERT-K). Also, schools may have policies surrounding specific stock emergency medication in the name of a district or school that may be in the SERT-K.

The school should have a written protocol shared with administration on SERT activation, roles, responsibilities, transportation of individuals (if applicable), and the following related to the SERT-K, to include:

  • Supply Restock: When it will be restocked (Identify SERT member or school personnel per kit or by building),
  • Monthly Logs: Who and When will complete documentation of monthly monitoring for expiration of contents (if applicable),
  • Location: Where the emergency kit will be located.
