It was stickied....several times. I am not sure why it keeps getting "unstuck". Will try again.

A link posted by 2 kids.

http://www.schools.utah.gov/equity/Section%20504/Parent%20Guide/UT504%20parent%2 0guide%20text%20only%20(2).doc

This is a Section 504 guide from state of Utah which is helpful. Does address food allergies and asthma.

ETA: The link is long so you will have to copy and paste into your browser.

I don't see any of thes links from the National Asssociation of Elementary School Principals. I can only access one full article, but they're all written by Anne Muñoz-Furlong. I'm looking for actual guidelines.

Managing Food Allergies in School
There are 600,000 children in the U.S. who are allergic to peanuts and at risk of possibly fatal anaphylactic shock.
