Section 916. Pupils afflicted with asthma

The  board  of education or
  trustees of each school district and board  of  cooperative  educational
  services  shall  allow  pupils who have been diagnosed by a physician or
  other duly authorized health  care  provider  with  a  severe  asthmatic
  condition  to  carry and use a prescribed inhaler during the school day,
  with the written permission of a  physician  or  other  duly  authorized
  health care provider, and parental consent, based on such physician's or
  provider's  determination that such pupil is subject to sudden asthmatic
  attacks severe enough  to  debilitate  such  pupil.  A  record  of  such
  permission  shall  be maintained in the school office. In addition, upon
  the written request of a parent or  person  in  parental  relation,  the
  board  of  education  or  trustees  of  a  school  district and board of
  cooperative educational services shall allow such pupils to maintain  an
  extra  such inhaler in the care and custody of a registered professional
  nurse employed by such district  or  board  of  cooperative  educational
  services.    Nothing  in this section shall require a school district or
  board of cooperative educational  services  to  retain  a  school  nurse
  solely  for the purpose of taking custody of a spare inhaler, or require
  that a school nurse be available at all times in a school  building  for
  such purpose.
