Is this part of my job?

So this happened about a month ago, but I haven't really had time to blog about it.

Every 4th week of the month is called "Bridge Week". I do not see my regular caseload and it gives me time to do testing, observations in the classroom, Medicaid paperwork, write evaluations, etc.

Well, during the 4th week of October, I was walking into the office on my way to the Teacher's Lounge for lunch. The Assistant Principal stopped me and asked if I could do a favor for her. She needed me to sit with some students who were sick and waiting for a parent to come pick them up. I could tell she was a little stressed out and I wanted to help out, so I agreed to sit with the students. About 5 minutes later the Assistant Principal came into the room and pulled me aside. I hear these words come from her mouth. "Would you do me a really huge favor for me? We can't find the School Counselor and someone needs to go with the a student on the ambulance to the hospital. The ambulance is waiting outside." I was surprised, but thought "I really can't say no." Two hours later, I came back to the school and continued with my day. Just so you know, the student was fine. He had thrown up and looked pale, but didn't have a fever. Why the school called 911 for this, I'll never quiet understand, but I guess it is better to be safe than sorry.

I just think it is kind of funny that they sent the SLP with the student. I didn't know it was in the job description, but was just glad the student was OK.
