As a Registered Respiratory Therapist I would suspend the decision maker with pay immediately for overzealously applying a vague tolerance
enforncement to a health issue that involves a recue inhaler . The Ignorance here must me addressed especially due to a national outcry for
resolution. If a quart low mindset of a teacher who may be a good teacher generally speaking takes this odd position they should be retained
as we all make goofey errors in life even our beloved teachers.
That is crazy, she could have saved her friends life by letting her use her inhaler. She showed common sense and humanity in giving her inhaler to the other student...the school board not so much.
And suspending someone because they had an asthma attack and used an inhaler...please.
As someone with asthma, ofcourse she used it....to breath, and continue living. Crazy!
I agree that it's ridiculous to punish them for this, but where was the girl's own inhaler? Her dad said she's been in the ICU multiple ones for asthma attacks so she likely has her own. If not, she should.

It could have been held in the nurse's office (in some schools you have to go there and ask to be given the medication), or she forgot it in her locker, or she could've run out and it was time for a refill.
This could've easily turned out to be a no-win situation because if Indiyah did NOT try to help, Alexis may have died if she couldn't get emergency treatment in time. But if Alexis had an adverse reaction to Indiyah's medicine and died as a result of THAT, then....
In either case, all hell would have broken loose and there'd be all kinds of lawsuits waiting to happen!
I'm definitely glad it worked out for the better and a girl saved her friend's life.

Reason: Adding details
This is insane. She may have saved another's life. Besides, an albuterol inhaler is a prescription medication, not a controlled substance. School board needs to consult a pediatrician, or pulmonologist, to educate them. I hope girls' parents don't sue school district.
