HENDERSON, KY (WFIE) -
A bill is headed to the Governor's desk that would require schools to keep epinephrine medication, or 'epi-pens' on-hand for allergy emergencies in Kentucky.
The bill encourages every Kentucky school to have two epi-pens on-hand.
Henderson County School's Executive Director of Academic Services Darrel Daigle tells 14News that each school already has nurses and other faculty members who are trained in administering epi-pen injections.
He says the new bill could mean training for even more district employees.
Daigle says many students in Henderson are prone to anaphylactic reactions to foods like peanuts and this bill will make them feel even more secure.
"That's caused us to be really aware and to be really careful in the schools about exposing kids to peanuts because so many of them have those types of allergies now," says Daigle. "It's just, you know, it's a good precaution."
Daigle says it will take about $7,000 from HCS's general fund to supply each school with epi-pens.
He says the new precautions will most likely be in place at the start of next school year.
