Hi ~ My son has multiple food allergies(10+), environmental and asthma. He has not started the school year (which started a week ago), as a 504 Plan and accommodations have not yet been implemented. The school has his food allergy action plan, asthma action plan, epi pens, Benadryl, inhaler and nebulizer meds. Also, a Medical Statement from the Allergist was submitted stating no allergens can be in the classroom. I requested a 504 Plan meeting and was granted one. It was a two hour meeting that turned a little chaotic and was very unproductive. I was then forwarded to the District 504 Coordinator. He asked if the school physician could review my sons plans and forms, which I said yes. The doctor did and I have not idea what came of that. Also, I have no follow up meeting. The District 504 Coordinator then called and said he has to speak with the District Superintendent. Today, the District 504 Coordinator called and offered home bound instruction (which I have yet to accept) until this is resolved, as they have to consider the other students also. It was later determined in the day that the 504 Coordinator was going to observe the classroom and then have a meeting with the teacher, nurse and principal. They would draft a 504 and then schedule a meeting that includes my husband and I, at which time we can agree or disagree to things. Also, I am being told it my not be possible to move snack out of the classroom. Is this typically how this process works? Also, can they go against the Allergist's Medical Statement? Please advise.
