SCHOOL DISTRICT POLICY & PROCEDURES

Has your child’s school district succeeded in providing a safe and inclusive learning environment for your child? If so, what is the school district’s policy on food allergies, better yet please give me link to the policy.

I am a teacher with a severe strawberry allergy that has progressively gotten to the point of anaphylaxis with just scent. Our school has been very cooperative and supportive because my classroom is also the lunchroom. We have had a few parents and teachers that still do not understand or follow the ban on strawberries from our building in any form (lotion, food, drink, spray, etc.), which has caused me to use benedryl and epipen. Everytime I am exposed, my allergy becomes more severe and requires medical intervention, hopefully it does not get to the point where intervention does not work.

no.. my son has had countless reactions from school when children bring in peanut butter and snickers etc.. the school kindly ask parents but those few parents are like im not being told what my child can and cant have so they constantly bring peanuts into school etc.. nothing anyone can do to stop it my son sees his friend with peanut butter and he moves away from them..
he recently had a reaction pron playing pe in the hall.. obviously the floor was contaminated from lunch.. and again this girl was eating nuts at lunch time never washed her hands and my son only used a pencil she used that day and again he had another reaction.. :(
