What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
CA
My child (5 years old) had a seizure at school, she has no pre existing condition for seizures, I was called and told it lasted 5-6 minutes, No EMS were called to assess here. Upon my arrival at the school she was found lying on the floor, asleep/unconscious,and I was told by the teacher that yes it was definitely a seizure. I had to take her out in a wheelchair. I took her to the hospital it was confirmed to be a seizure. When I inquired as to why EMS were not called I was told the teacher did not deem it serious enough to call, No incident report was made, and as I inquired further I was also told that no one on staff is medically qualified to diagnosis it as a seizure. Upon further research I am unable to find an emergency Safety action plan for the school or for the school district. I was referred to a few very vague policies. The teacher and principal have recanted statements they have made and do not want to address implementing an emergency and safety action plan for the school in general. I've also had a meeting with the Principal, School nurse and teacher and was told that the teacher is you and was scared and that was her reason for not calling 911. My fear is not only for my own child but all the children in this school being safe and cared for by competent individuals.
