I'll put in citations later, but a found numerous cases stating that a school district cannot require parents to waive liability (and presumably also agree to indemnify the school) for administering any medication (e.g. EpiPens) that it is required to do under a 504 Plan.

Strong case for incorporating Allergy Action Plans in the 504 Plan.

Here's more of the text. Looks like it got cut off.

Bethlehem (NY) Central School District, 52 IDELR 169 (OCR March 11, 2009) –finding regarded as discrimination where district denied enrollment in culinary arts class to student with food allergies. OCR concluded that, although the district did not qualify the student as 504 disabled, it regarded him as such when it developed a health plan to address allergies. OCR also appears to treat the health plan as a mitigating measure.

Did a formal FOIA request to obtain full document.

The presentation in whole is quite interesting:

There are other cases sighted and methodologies to get around them.

This is great!

If it walks like a duck (kid has LTFA), and talks like a duck (IHCP), then it IS a duck (504 Plan!).

I'm confused about this:

What do you think this means?

I take it to mean that if the school thought the FA's were significant enough to warrant an IHP, than by default they were significant enough to fall under 504.

Or, in other words, if the school thought the FA's were significant enough to warrant an IHP, then denying a 504 contradicted their own decision making.
