Managing Allergies and Anaphylaxis in Schools

Students come to school with diverse medical conditions which may impact their learning as well as their health. Some of these conditions are serious and may be life-threatening, such as allergies, asthma, diabetes, and seizure disorders. As a result, students, parents/guardians, school personnel and health care providers must all work together to provide the necessary information and training to allow children with health problems to participate as fully and safely as possible in the school experience.  All students within the District with known life-threatening conditions have a comprehensive plan of care in place: an Emergency Care Plan (ECP) and/or Individualized Healthcare Plan (IHP), and if appropriate an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or Section 504 Plan.
