The schools DS attended had this same policy, which is why we don't have DS self-carry at school. Really, if someone is having a horrible ana reaction, which may include passing out, how can they possibly self-administer?

They can't. Which is what we STILL tell people-- and my DD is almost 14.

It's a stupid policy, for sure-- but a common one. A good allergist can find ways around it, though, such as treatment orders reflecting a need for "immediate" access to emergency meds, but without an expectation of self-administration.
