Need Help: Peanut Free Table for 5th grader

Also, procedurally they can't just take away a 504. Well, they can but it is a procedural violation and you will eventually get them on it through the OCR.

if they yr to remove the 504, tell them that nothing in your child's condition has changed to warrant the removal of the status. There's also paperwork that goes along with it, so if they toy with the idea to scare you, ask them to explain the removal procedures to you. Read up on them first of course.

twinturbo,

THAT was awesome post!!!!

Yup. 


Having a 504 plan means NOT being stuck with "policy" insofar as accommodations go.  It's about what THIS student needs-- not about what "students with this condition" are typically granted, (mandated?).



I'd simply ask the million-dollar question in that meeting.

"WHY??"  (As in-- explain this to me, how this is connected and why the school has made a determination as to medical appropriateness for all students with the condition of a nut allergy...  because the argument is that kids with nut allergy fall into only one of two different catregories-- those that require maximal protection from exposure, and those that need NONE.)     Not very individual.
