Do not talk to anyone at all about accommodations until you hear that your son has been approved. The law requires that the school provide (pay for) a parent approved treat for your son should they decide to allow treats for birthdays. Don't offer to take on that financial obligation, or obligate yourself to shadowing every party to make sure it's safe. Insist on a safe educational environment for your son. I know it seems like the thing to do to show them you want to work with them, but, if you do, you set the precedent that they can do what they want, and you will bend over backwards to make it work. This is only kindergarten, and it will get old REALLY fast with all the food activities that take place. You are not asking for a favor, they are obligated to provide a safe educational environment to your son.
