CPS has had the benefit of getting some very focused attention from Dr. Gupta, too.  From what I could tell of the results they seemed to have not really taken her efforts to heart.

I think that it probably needs sharing with any district that thinks that FOOD in classrooms is no big deal.   :-/

This is a district that had a student die from food anaphylaxis on their watch just a year prior to the study period, too-- so you KNOW that they had a lot of training and awareness of risks.    If they couldn't handle food in classrooms safely enough to avoid anaphylaxis, NOBODY can.

Wow!  This needs to be shared with every other school district and anyone who balks at trying to get epinephrine in schools and public places.
