[quote=Anonymous]My child is chemically-sensitive and has reactions for cleaning supplies (even things as simple as 409 or windex, lysol). What are the rules about cleaning supplies used at schools? How about pesticides? He is highly reactive to the Orkin man as well. Also, if we do any construction, painting, in our home, he becomes very ill and has respiratory issues. I am just wondering what the rules are in VA public schools -- are they required to notify parents when using pesticides, cleaning, or doing construction? Do they use mild, eco-friendly cleaning supplies? My son seems to be OK when I use backing soda, vinegar to clean -- it's just the harsh, stronger smelling stuff that really bothers him and dust from construction causes issues. His asthma acts up and he says he has trouble breathing. It can become rather serious. Any advice would be appreciated. He is 5 years old and about to start public school. [/quote]
