Illinois lawmakers recently passed legislation regarding required guidelines for dealing with food allergies in all Illinois schools. The great news is that these guidelines are already available online.
Most schools in the various districts around the state will most likely adopt these policies and tailor them, if necessary, to their schools' needs.
Many people worked tirelessly to get this passed and also to create the food allergy guidelines documents. A big thank you to all of them!
If you don't live in Illinois and are having trouble getting food allergy guidelines in your state, send this link along to your state government reps as a model of how to implement these policies.
If you do live in Illinois and are having trouble with your school, please refer them to this new food allergy guidelines link for direction and help.
I'm so excited that this was finished before the next school year. Again, thanks to all the parents and state reps who made this possible!
