ALEXANDRIA, Va.- Parents who have children with food allergies are always worrying that their children will eat something they shouldn’t. School systems hold the same concerns for the students that they are entrusted with.
One measure being taken by school systems in collaboration with city, state, and federal official is a free three-part interactive web seminar series entitled, ‘Managing Food Allergies in Schools.’
The first installment of the series will take place on April 29, and will provide an overview of eight major food allergens, and the legal responsibilities of school districts to accommodate students with these allergies. The School Nutrition Foundation, which is sponsoring, organizing, and hosting the series, was unavailable for comment in time for this posting to elaborate on what allergies would be discussed.
