"Use of food" permission slip for science

[ajasfolks2]

The permission slip is implying there may/will be "accommodations" of sorts for those with LTFA . . . is this an attempt to NOT have a 504 . . . part of the "appearances" of being concerned and diligent in effort to NOT have 504 for the LTFA students?

Have already experienced an attempt at soft-sell of "IHCP will do" recently.

Just makes me wonder.

Adding,

I guess what I'm trying to say is,

isn't this really a violation of Section 504 and process?  Cart before horse = accommodations before or without official eligibility.

Maybe they have no clue that this is outside 504 process and not ok?

I think it's more a result of the fact that the vast majority of their students with food allergies do not have 504s and only have the IHCP form filled out.  So they're aware of and have more students with food allergies than number of allergic students with 504s, and they're trying to cover themselves from a liability standpoint. You'll see in the forms that come home on the first day of school that there is an insurance/liability waiver that you must sign.  It's for all students and would apply if your child, say, injured herself in gym class.  That was something new this past year.
