The Secretary of Education shall carry out a program under which the Secretary makes grants to local educational agencies, to be used by the local educational agencies for one or both of the following: To purchase nebulizers for use in elementary and secondary schools served by the local educational agency. To provide training to enable elementary and secondary schools served by the local educational agency to meet the requirements of subsection (d)(1), but only if nebulizers are already in use at such schools or are acquired through this program.
To be eligible to receive a grant under this section, a local educational agency shall submit an application to the Secretary at such time, in such form, and containing such information as the Secretary may require. To be eligible to receive a nebulizer through a grant under this section, a school may be any public or private school served by the local educational agency, except that an Internet- or computer-based community school is not eligible. To be eligible to receive a grant under this section, the local educational agency must provide matching funds from non-Federal sources equal to not less than 25 percent of the amount of the grant.
The Secretary shall waive the requirement of paragraph
(1)for a local educational agency if the number of children counted under section 1124(c)(1)(A) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 ( 20 U.S.C. 6333(c)(1)(A) ) is 20 percent or more of the total number of children aged 5 to 17, inclusive, served by the local educational agency. A local educational agency that receives a grant under this section shall demonstrate that, for each elementary and secondary school at which the nebulizers are to be used— there is a full-time certified school nurse on staff; the school has the trained personnel and other resources necessary to use the nebulizers; local paramedics and other emergency services personnel are notified where on school grounds the nebulizers are to be located; the nebulizer will be integrated into the school’s emergency response plan or procedures; and the school has procedures in place to ensure that parents are notified of the availability of the nebulizers, how to provide their child’s prescription asthma medication to the school, and how to authorize use of a nebulizer to assist their child when medically appropriate. In making grants under this section, the Secretary shall give priority to local educational agencies— having jurisdiction over a geographic area with respect to which the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has determined that the prevalence of asthma is at least 10 percent higher than the national average; that do not already have at least one nebulizer in each school served by the local educational agency; serve schools at which a significant number of students, staff, and visitors are present on school grounds during a typical day; and that have not received funds under the Rural Access to Emergency Devices Act ( 42 U.S.C. 254c note). The terms used in this section shall have the meanings given to such terms in section 9101 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 ( 20 U.S.C. 7801 ). There are authorized to be appropriated to carry out this section such sums as may be necessary for each of fiscal years 2014 through 2019.
