[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The real issue is that DCPS does not have a specific and well publicized message banning home baked items and the like. These policies should not be a grey area for parents to sort out on a forum. This lack of publicized message is a ticking lawsuit waiting to happen. A nut free, gluten free, shellfish free treat policy should not be teacher or school specific. There is no reason that parents should bring in home baked good items. I would NOT bring in a home baked item for fear that if a child suffered an allergic reaction I would be subject to the child's medical bills. In this day and age its much easier to provide a kosher, gluten free, egg free, diary free, nut free and soy free option than to be sued. For example, sorbet fruit popsicles as an alternative to cake or muffins. [/quote] DCPS does not have a specific and well publicized message about a lot of things. There is a very diverse student body and the cultural considerations are vast. More children died in DC from guns than allergic reactions. Not to say we should not have effective policies for both - but you need a reality check on the food deserts and poverty across the city.[/quote]
