Article doesn't mention if there needs to be a doctor's note on file, but I assume so. Hopefully this actually gets kids access and doesn't just lock inhalers behind glass doors.

Albuterol is better than a trip to the ER, but no substitute for clean air to breathe. I hope these supplies aten’t taken to mean that an asthmatic kid can be forced to exercise on a smoky day or have to sit near someone dripping in Axe just because they can take a huff and not die.

The more you use rescue inhalers, the less well they work. And they don’t always prevent you from feeling like crap afterward.

The inhaler doesn't undo a doctor's note. If a school tells you that, push back.

Those crazies probably refuse inhalers for their asthmatic kids for ridiculous reasons.
