Education was provided only through grade 8 <strong>and</strong> tuition was paid <strong>to</strong> ano<strong>the</strong>r district, where<br />
students attended grades 9-12. S<strong>in</strong>ce centralization, residents have been provided<br />

Food Allergies<br />
Serious food allergies appear <strong>to</strong> be <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> frequency <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> number of affected<br />
students is ris<strong>in</strong>g. In some cases, m<strong>in</strong>ute amounts of <strong>the</strong> food allergen, when eaten, <strong>to</strong>uched or<br />
<strong>in</strong>haled can make <strong>the</strong> allergic child very ill. Some food-allergic children are at risk for<br />
life-threaten<strong>in</strong>g anaphylaxis.<br />
Currently, <strong>the</strong>re is no cure for food allergies <strong>and</strong> avoidance is <strong>the</strong> only prevention; yet it is<br />
impossible <strong>to</strong> achieve complete avoidance of all allergic foods as <strong>the</strong>re can be hidden or<br />
accidentally <strong>in</strong>troduced sources. Therefore, <strong>the</strong> child’s parents <strong>and</strong> physician must prepare <strong>the</strong><br />
School District for serious reactions that may occur despite precautions.<br />
Parents are responsible for notify<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> school of students with documented food<br />
allergies <strong>and</strong>/or anaphylaxis <strong>and</strong> for provid<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> school with medical <strong>in</strong>formation <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> family<br />
physician’s treatment pro<strong>to</strong>col. The parents will be given a copy of District Policy #5425,<br />
Regulation #5425R <strong>and</strong> Exhibits. Parents are responsible for provid<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> allergic child’s<br />
medication directly <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> school health office <strong>in</strong> a properly labeled orig<strong>in</strong>al conta<strong>in</strong>er.<br />
The District’s goals for severe food-allergic children are <strong>to</strong> reduce <strong>the</strong> risk of exposure,<br />
identify <strong>and</strong> recognize symp<strong>to</strong>ms of an adverse reaction <strong>and</strong> ensure prompt emergency<br />
treatment. Implementation shall be consistent across <strong>the</strong> District.<br />
