I agree....my DS has a severe allergy to eggs and nuts....he doesn't need to injest them, just contact with any residue from these can cause a serious reaction. We've seen reactions just from him picking up a pack of crayons someone else used before him. Honestly, its pretty freakin scary. It may be inconvenient to others to have a ban in place, but it could mean death for my son (and just for the record, I don't always think a ban is necessary if proper cleaning protocol is followed)
OP, that paperwork mess is one thing I despise about public school! I swear every year one of the schools messes up something
