Allergy Prevention and Response
The purpose of this policy is to create an organizational system for preventing and responding to
allergic reactions. This policy is not a guarantee of an allergen-free environment; instead, it is
designed to increase awareness, provide education and training, reduce the chance of exposure
and outline responses to allergic reactions. The best form of prevention for life-threatening
allergic reactions is avoidance of the allergen.
Research shows that allergies can negatively impact student achievement by affecting
concentration, learning and attendance. Healthy students are better learners. In addition to
posing health risks, allergies can be potentially deadly for some individuals.
This policy applies to district facilities to which students have access and includes transportation
provided by the district. The superintendant or designee, in cooperation with other pertinent staff
members, has developed the following procedures to implement this policy.
Allergy Prevention and Response Procedures
The superintendant or designee shall oversee the implementation of these procedures in
consultation with the director of nursing, director of food service, director of transportation,
health and wellness committee, and when appropriate the director of special education or 504
coordinator.
Identification:
Each school will attempt to identify students with potentially life threatening allergies through at
least an annual review of all individual student Health Inventory Forms. The nurse at this time
will refer students for 504 and/or IDEA eligibility when appropriate.
Prevention:
An Emergency Action Plan and/or Individualized Healthcare Plan may be developed for students
with a diagnosed potentially life threatening allergy. This will be provided to, and reviewed
with, staff members who need to know this information in order to provide a safe environment
for the student. Appropriate staff members will be determined by the principal and school nurse.
Education and Training:
All certified and noncertificated staff members will be trained by a school nurse or by viewing a
district approved health education resource video on the causes and symptoms of, and responses
to, allergic reactions. Training will include instruction on the use of epinephrine pre-measured
auto injection devices.
Age appropriate education on allergies and allergic reactions will be provided to students by a
trained staff member or by viewing a district approved health education resource video.
Education will include potential causes, information on avoiding allergens, signs and symptoms
of allergic reactions and simple steps students can take to keep classmates safe.
Policy 2825
Page 2 of 4
Confidentiality:
Information about individual students with allergies will be provided to all staff members who
need to know the information in order to maintain a safe environment for the student, as
permitted on the Health Inventory Form. Appropriate staff members will be determined by the
principal and school nurse.
Responses:
Responses to allergic reactions will be in accordance with established procedures. It is the
responsibility of the parents to provide their child’s school with the necessary paperwork and
medication needed to carry out the student’s plan of action in case of exposure. Each building
will maintain an adequate supply of epinephrine premeasured auto-injection devices to be
administered according to the Anaphylaxis Protocol adopted by the district. Appropriate staff
members, as determined by the principal and nurse, will be notified about students with
potentially life threatening allergies as well as plans of action in case of exposure.
Plans and Protocols:
Students with allergies may rise to a level that requires special plans/protocols to be initiated.
These plans/protocols can include one or more of the following depending on the type and status
of the allergy:
Emergency Action Plan is a written plan completed/signed by parents and physician for students
who have life-threatening conditions, such as an allergy. This plan is designed to inform school
district personnel who may be called upon to respond.
Individualized Healthcare Plan is a document created by the nurse in cooperation with the staff,
parents and the student’s health care provider, when appropriate. It is for students who have
specific health care needs. It is a nursing care plan that has student-centered goals and
objectives, and describes the nursing interventions designed to meet the student’s short and long-
term goals.
Anaphylaxis Emergency Protocol is the district adopted procedure to follow in case of a life
threatening reaction to an allergen for students with no Emergency Action Plan in place. This
requires allergy and epinephrine premeasured auto-injection device training in order to initiate.
Food Allergy Awareness Protocol is the district adopted procedure to follow for students who
have a potentially life threatening allergy to food and is completed/signed by parents and
physician. It is always initiated when a student provides the district with an epinephrine
premeasured auto-injection device to be used in cases of exposure to an allergen resulting in a
potentially life threatening reaction.
Individual 504 Non-Discrimination Plan is the procedure to follow for students who are eligible
due to a mental or physical impairment that substantially limits one or more of their major life
activities. This plan is created by a multidisciplinary team and will allow the student to be
educated in the regular classroom setting to their fullest extent.
Individual Education Plan is the procedure to follow for students with identified disabilities. It
provides the assistance they need to learn and progress in their schoolwork successfully. This
plan is created by a multidisciplinary team in order to determine the special education services
and supports that the student needs in order to achieve at their highest potential.
Policy 2825
Page 3 of 4
The above plans and protocols will be reviewed and updated at least annually by the appropriate
members of the multidisciplinary team.
Food Allergy:
Food allergy is a growing concern and creates a significant challenge for children in school.
Increasing numbers of children are diagnosed with a potentially life-threatening condition known
as anaphylaxis. The only way to prevent this from occurring is avoidance of the identified food
allergen. Critical to saving lives are plans that include life-threatening food allergy education
and awareness, avoidance of allergens, and treatment of anaphylaxis. Ingestion of the food
allergen is the principal route of exposure leading to an allergic reaction ranging from mild skin
reactions to life-threatening reactions. The top eight most common food allergens are milk,
eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, fish, wheat and soy. The most prevalent food allergens for
children are milk, eggs and peanuts. For students with potentially life threatening food allergies
their plan of action will be followed. The district’s Food Allergy Awareness Protocol will always
be initiated when a student provides the district with an epinephrine premeasured auto-injection
device to be used as a result of exposure to an allergen causing a potentially life threatening
reaction.
Insect Allergy:
Stinging insects commonly include bees, wasps, hornets, yellow jackets, paper wasps and fire
ants. For most, complications include pain and redness at the bite site. However, some people
can have a potentially life threatening response. In these cases treatment is needed following the
student’s plan of action.
Latex Allergy:
Latex products such as balloons, gloves, and gym equipment are a common cause of allergic
type reactions. Two common types of reactions include contact dermatitis and immediate
allergic reactions. Contact dermatitis, a type of localized allergic reaction to skin, can occur on
any part of the body that has contact with latex products, usually after 12-36 hours. Immediate
allergic reactions, however, are potentially the most severe form of allergic reaction to latex.
Exposure can lead to anaphylaxis depending on the amount of allergen exposure and the degree
of sensitivity. Latex should be avoided by students and staff at risk for anaphylaxis, however, a
latex free environment cannot be guaranteed. Latex free supplies and equipment should be used
when available. Proper signage will be posted and letters sent home when necessary. In cases
when a reaction occurs as a result of exposure the student’s plan of action should be initiated.
Medication:
Any medication which a student is allergic to as noted on the Health Inventory Form will not be
administered. In cases when accidental exposure occurs causing a severe reaction the district’s
Anaphylaxis Emergency Protocol should be initiated.
Resources:
It is important to use appropriate resources when obtaining information needed to make informed
decisions.
Conclusion:
Life threatening allergies can result in anaphylaxis, which requires a medical response.
Epinephrine is the treatment of choice for anaphylaxis and should be administered as soon as
Policy 2825

possible. However, prevention is the most important method in the management of allergic
reactions. Avoidance of exposure to the allergen is the best way to prevent a reaction. With
procedure in place and proper training, allergic reactions can be dealt with in a safe and efficient
manner.

nurse’s office in each building.

“ALLERGIES”
DEFINITION:
Allergy is a reaction that the bodies’ immune system produces that is
inappropriate in relation to something that would normally be innocent. The
reaction can be local or general in nature.
TYPES:
People can be allergic to many things. It is important to note that allergies
can develop even after there have been multiple exposures to the allergen.
Some examples are as follows:
1) Airborne such as tree pollens, smoke and mold.
2) Animals such as cats and dogs.
3) Bug bites such as bees, wasps and mosquitoes.
4) Foods such as nuts, milk, seafood, to name a few. An individual
can be allergic to any kind of food.
5) Medications such as antibiotics.
6) Latex such as balloons and gloves.
REACTIONS:
1) Local reactions can include redness, swelling, rash and itching.
Airborne reactions can include watery, swollen and itchy eyes,
throat and nasal congestion, sneezing, coughing and asthmatic
symptoms.
2) General reactions involve the entire body and multiple systems.
This can be a severe and life threatening anaphylactic reaction.
Reactions can include:
a. Generalized itching and tingling
b. Swelling of lips, tongue and periorbital area.
c. Weakness.
d. Rapid pulse.
e. Fall in blood pressure.
f. Respiratory difficulty or distress.
g. Cold, clammy skin.
h. Loss of consciousness
i. Nausea and/or vomiting.
j. Abdominal cramping.
TREATMENT:
1) Local reactions are generally treated with an oral antihistamine
such as Benadryl.
2) General/Anaphylactic reactions are treated with Epinephrine
injections and an oral antihistamine. There are some important
things to remember about Epinephrine:
a. Dose: Epi-pen Junior for those weighing less than 66
pounds. Adult Epi-pen for those weighing more than 66
pounds. Always error on the side off too much verses not
enough. Dose may be repeated in 5 minutes if there is no
relief of symptoms.
b. Side Effects: Increased heart rate, trembling, headache, and
increased blood pressure. Symptoms will wear off in
approximately 15–30 minutes.
c. Duration: Begins acting in seconds and has approximate 15-
20 minute duration of action. Always call 911 when Epi-
pen is given since duration is short and symptoms may
reappear when the med wears off.
3) Always error on the side of giving the Epi-pen. It is better to be
dealing with the side effects of the medication which will wear off
in 15-30 minutes verses the other option!
PREVENTION:
1) Education
2) Avoidance of the allergen
3) Good hand washing

Date Dear Parent/Guardian:
We have a student in your child’s class that has a peanut/nut allergy. We are making every effort to ensure that his/her safety and health are not jeopardized. As a staff, we are becoming more familiar with putting in place effective strategies to address the child's needs in the classroom, on field trips, in the lunchroom and other areas while at school.
Prevention, of course, is the best approach and, therefore, we are requesting your cooperation in refraining from sending peanut/nut containing food products to school with your child for snack time. We have asked the students not to share their lunches, snacks or treats. Our concern is for foods where peanuts or nuts might be a "hidden" ingredient, and where cross-contamination may occur. In a classroom setting, cross-contamination is the greatest risk from this type of allergy.
We realize this request poses an inconvenience for you when providing your child's classroom snack; however, we sincerely appreciate your support and understanding of this potentially life-threatening allergy. We realize it is difficult at times to get children to eat a healthy snack, however, we hope you will understand the seriousness of an allergy. If your child consumes a peanut/nut product prior to arriving at school, please make every effort to wash the child’s hands and face.
With your co-operation we can minimize the risk of an allergic reaction, and create as safe a learning environment as possible for our students. Attached you will find a list of “safe” snacks that can be sent for the classroom treats.
Thank you for your support and understanding.
Please call me if I can be of assistance.

We have a student in REACH that has a peanut/nut allergy. We are making every effort to ensure that his/her safety and health are not jeopardized. As a staff, we are becoming more familiar with putting in place effective strategies to address the child's needs in the classroom, on field trips, in the lunchroom and other areas while at school.
Prevention, of course, is the best approach and, therefore, we are requesting your cooperation in refraining from sending peanut/nut containing food products to school with your child. We have asked the students not to share their lunches, snacks or treats. Our concern is for foods where peanuts or nuts might be a "hidden" ingredient, and where cross-contamination may occur. In a classroom setting, cross-contamination is the greatest risk from this type of allergy.
We realize this request poses an inconvenience for you when packing your child's snack and lunch; however, we sincerely appreciate your support and understanding of this potentially life-threatening allergy. We realize it is difficult at times to get children to eat a healthy snack, however, we hope you will understand the seriousness of an allergy. If your child consumes a peanut/nut product prior to arriving at school, please make every effort to wash the child’s hands and face.
With your co-operation we can minimize the risk of an allergic reaction, and create as safe a learning environment as possible for our students.
Thank you for your support and understanding.
Please call me if I can be of assistance.

PROVISION OF FAPE
The student who is the subject of this individualized plan has been determined to be a student
with a 504 disability and entitled to the provision of a free appropriate public education (FAPE) as
defined by the federal 504 regulations. Pursuant to those regulations, FAPE is defined as the
provision of regular or special education or related aids and services that are designed to meet
the needs of the disabled student as adequately as the needs of nondisabled students.
After the student has been determined to have a 504 disability, the student’s multidisciplinary
team should convene and answer the following questions to determine how FAPE will be
provided to the student who is the subject of this plan.
7. If the student regularly and consistently attends school with mitigating measures
in place, does the student require the provision of any regular or special
education and/or related aids and services other than those generally provided
to the District’s nondisabled students to have his/her needs met as adequately
as the needs of the nondisabled students in the District?
_____ Yes _____ No
If the answer to the above question is no, the student is considered to be 504
disabled, he/she is entitled to the procedural protections of that law, and his/her
parents are entitled to the rights accorded to them as outlined in the 504 federal
regulations and the District’s 504 Procedural Safeguards, but the student has no
current needs that require additional regular education, special education
and/or related aids or services to receive FAPE under Section 504.
If the answer to the above question is yes, proceed to question 8.
8. With or without reference to mitigating measures and in order to receive FAPE
under Section 504, does the student only require any of the following programs,
aids, services, accommodations, supports, or interventions that are available to
the District’s nondisabled students on an as-needed basis? _____ Yes_____ No
If the answer is Yes, mark which of the following programs, aids, services,
accommodations, supports and/or interventions are necessary for the student to
receive FAPE: [Note: The following are intended only as illustration. Each
District must tailor this section of the 504 Plan to be consistent with what the
District makes available to its general education population].

If the answer to question 8 is Yes, the indicated programs, aids, services,
accommodations, supports or interventions constitute the provision of FAPE to
this student under Section 504. If relevant, a copy of any written plans or
programs should be attached. If no written plan or program is available, provide
a description of the program, aids, services, accommodations, supports or
interventions that are or will be in place.
If the answer to question 8 is No, the student’s multidisciplinary team should
consider the provision of FAPE based on question 9 below.
9. With or without reference to mitigating measures, does the student need the
provision of programs, aids, services, accommodations, supports and/or
interventions that are not generally available to the District’s nondisabled
students and are beyond those described under question 8 above to have
his/her needs met as adequately as those of his/her nondisabled peers?
_____ Yes _____ No
If Yes, indicate below what additional programs, aids, services, accommodations,
supports or interventions that are not available to the District’s nondisabled
students this student needs for the provision of FAPE. If the student exhibits
behaviors that are a manifestation of his/her 504 disability, the team should
consider whether an individualized behavior plan is necessary for the provision
of FAPE.
