[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 75016, member: 1722"] You want to read something funny? Duckie is on a small bus this year because she carries an epipen. There are four students on the bus. Three with epipens, and the other is the sibling of one of the epipen-holders. Two of these epipen kids are highly allergic to peanuts, Duckie is not. The bus is nut-free and these other two allergic kids are in nut-free classrooms and sit at the allergy table at lunch. Duckie is in a regular classroom and doesn't sit at the allergy table. The busing arrangement was made because the one child is so sensitive that there was concern that he could have a nut exposure on the regular bus, the other students (including Duckie) were placed on the bus due to their epipen status. Makes sense, right? They may as well fully use the district resources as much as possible since this child has a clear cut need for special transportation, right? I asked the nurse what happens if Duckie buys her lunch one day or has a peanut-containing treat in her classroom [b] [i] and then gets on the bus.[/i] [/b] What procedure has been put in place to ensure this child doesn't get exposed in such a small area by my daughter? Our school nurse is a real gem. She thanked me for thinking that part through when no one else had. Duckie's hands and face are washed before dismissal in an attempt to reduce the risk of exposure to this other highly allergic child. I have no idea about the sibling. [/QUOTE]
