Wisconsin state law permits any non-licensed, health care staff workers to opt out of doing anything but giving oral pills. Using an epi-pen, a glucagon kit, or the latest seizure medicine, rectal Valium, is voluntary but many schools are now training staff to provide backup and emergency care when a nurse is not available.
