This is a district that had a student die from food anaphylaxis on their watch just a year prior to the study period, too-- so you KNOW that they had a lot of training and awareness of risks. If they couldn't handle food in classrooms safely enough to avoid anaphylaxis, NOBODY can.

QuoteIn the first year that Chicago Public Schools stocked epinephrine injectors at all schools, nurses and other trained workers administered the hormone 38 times, according a study by Northwestern Medicine published Monday in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
