• Calling parents to tell them which hospital to go for insurance purposes
• Figuring out how to order supplies like gloves and OTC meds without a system
• Using paper lists or binders for med stocks and student allergies
• Running back and forth across school during emergencies because no communication system

Implied Software Gaps
