SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Guidelines for managing food allergies. Requires the Board of Education to establish guidelines for managing and caring for children with food allergies in the public schools. The guidelines must provide a protocol for caring for children with life-threatening food allergies and requirements for accommodating children with special dietary needs and training of school personnel, and incorporate Board of Education policies pertaining to the management of food allergies and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service standards for accommodating children with special dietary needs. This bill also requires local school boards to adopt guidelines consistent with the Board's by July 1, 2010, and to ensure that all school personnel with direct contact with students are appropriately trained in identifying and managing children who have been exposed to specific food allergens. This bill was incorporated into SB 1367.
