A community member needs advice: Just moved to a new school - TopicsExpress



          

A community member needs advice: Just moved to a new school district. Previous district provided a peanut free classroom and several other accommodations with no problem, it was not a peanut free school. I contacted the new school two weeks ago to give them a heads up about my registering her and that she had a severe life threatening peanut allergy. They agreed to meet with me but neglected to inform me that they do not have any peanut free classrooms. Two weeks later when I register her they tell me they have no peanut free classrooms nor do they intend to make one for her. They actually said it would be against the law to tell parents they could not send peanut products for in class snack. They also said whenever there is a classroom celebration my child can sit in the nurses office? I told them we would be applying for a 504 and they said that is not what 504s are for... We even submitted a doctors note saying my child needed a peanut free class. Just curious if others have had to advocate for this and how they went about it and if they have a 504. Thanks. peanutallergy/boards/schools/peanut-free-class-request
