Asthma attacks aren’t always predictable, and it is dangerous to keep the inhaler locked in a room.
But the school kept taking Ryan’s extra inhaler away.
Ryan’s mom said that the school called her on several occasions, asking her to pick up an inhaler that Ryan had brought to school.
He wasn’t allowed to bring it home.
”You would give him an inhaler but then he would get caught with the inhaler and then it would be taken away,” Sandra Gibbons said, speaking to CBC.
”Then I’d get a phone call. So it was actually very frustrating. I didn’t understand why. I didn’t realize that the policy actually stated that the prescribed medication needed to be in the office.”
