HEALTH SERVICES 2017

ORGANIZATION

The campus Registered Nurse is the point of contact for management of students at risk for anaphylaxis and works in collaboration with the Campus Allergy Management Team to reduce risk for students subject to potential anaphylaxis. In addition to the Registered Nurse, members of the Campus Allergy Management Team may include:

o Campus Administration

o Classroom Teacher

o School Counselor

o Food Service Manager

o Nutrition and Food Services Department

o Lead Custodian

o Transportation Representative

HEALTH SERVICES 2017

ASSESSMENT AND PLANNING

• Information regarding student food allergy will be elicited at the time of enrollment via Request for Food Allergy Information form. Parent reports of allergy that are not diagnostically confirmed by a licensed medical provider will be noted in the student health record by the school registered nurse and housed in the student cumulative folder.

o When provided with a completed Special Dietary Accommodation form, Klein ISD Nutrition & Food Services will record the food allergy special instructions in their electronic record.

o The School Nurse will inform the parent that food substitutions cannot be made based solely on the Request for Food Allergy Form.

• For a diagnosed food allergy, the parent will provide an updated Allergy Action Plan (AAP) prior to the start of the school year. The AAP should include:

o The name, date of birth, and grade level of the child. o A picture of the child so that they can be easily identified. o A list of the foods to which the child is allergic. o Indication of whether or not the child has asthma (higher risk for severe reaction if the

child has asthma). o Clear instructions on what symptoms require the use of epinephrine immediately. o Clear instructions (including diagrams) on how epinephrine should be administered. o The name of medications to be utilized in an emergency including either the brand name,

or the generic name and the dosage to be administered, and when to give an additional dose of emergency medications.

o Instructions regarding monitoring the child and communicating to EMS the medications that were given, what time the medications were given and how to position the child when they have had a severe reaction.

o Dated signatures by the parent, the licensed medical provider. o A place to list contact information for parents/guardians, healthcare providers and other

emergency contact information including phone numbers. • The campus Registered Nurse, in collaboration with the parent, will utilize the AAP to develop an

Individualized Health Care Plan (IHP) for the student which documents day to day management and emergency care of the student’s food allergy. A sample IHP can be located on pages 19 – 21 of this guideline. Whenever possible, this planning should take place prior to the beginning of the school year.

o The IHP for food allergy students should take into consideration the need to assign an adult to monitor safe food selections.

o The Klein ISD Special Dietary Accommodation form must be completed for those students requiring food substitution. The AAP cannot be substituted for this form.

o Consideration should be given to planning for school sponsored extracurricular activities and before/ after school events.

Page 4: GUIDELINES FOR CHILDREN AT RISK FOR ......served/consumed, how to reduce risk in the cafeteria by reviewing food labels, minimizing cross-contamination and other strategies. • Review

HEALTH SERVICES 2017

o Consideration should be given to a Section 504 plan for the student. o The school nurse will have two weeks’ advance notice of field trips so appropriate plans

can be made for food, training, and medication administration. • Epinephrine should be stored in a secure but unlocked area.

HEALTH SERVICES 2017

TRAINING AND INTERVENTION

• Compliance training for all school staff on allergy awareness. • The School Nurse will provide a paper or electronic copy of the AAP/IHP/Emergency Action Plan

(EAP) to Transportation, Food Service, and Classroom Staff. School Administration, Counseling and custodial staff will receive verbal instructions and may request a hard copy for their records. All are advised of the central location for the AAP/IHP/EAP.

o All above are trained on allergy awareness, signs and symptoms of an anaphylactic reaction, and intervention to include administration of epinephrine auto injector.

o All above are advised regarding location of the student’s epinephrine auto injector. o Auxiliary/substitute bus drivers will be trained on allergy awareness, signs and

symptoms of an anaphylactic reaction, and intervention to include administration of epinephrine auto injector.

o Classroom teachers will make severe allergy information available for substitute teachers and advise them to meet with the School Nurse for student specific training.

o Nutrition & Food Service personnel are trained in avoiding cross contamination during food preparation.

o Nutrition & Food Service personnel are not solely responsible for safe food selections by students.

• All students/staff wash hands before and after lunch and before returning to the class from recess, using running water and soap. Sanitizing hand wipes can be used in lieu of hand washing. Hand Sanitizer is not an acceptable cleanser for the prevention of food allergic reactions.

• Student’s lunch table is cleansed with a fresh dedicated cleaning solution and towel prior to the arrival of the allergic student.

• Parents of the child with food allergy and the School Nurse should refer to the Klein ISD Nutrition & Food Services allergen list found at: http://www.kleinisd.net/default.aspx?name=fsfood.nutrition. Utilize this list to help students plan food selections in advance of arrival to the cafeteria.

• The reward and/or instructional use of food in the student’s classroom should be avoided. If it cannot be avoided, then nutritional labels should be carefully scrutinized by the classroom teacher and school nurse for presence of allergens. The School Nurse will require 2 week advance notice to review the food selection and nutrition labels.

• The parent of the food allergic student should provide a supply of safe snacks for use during standardized testing, classroom celebrations, etc.

• With parental permission, classroom parents should receive a letter notifying them that a student with a life threatening food allergy is in the classroom.

• Parents should refrain from providing known allergens for classroom celebrations. Non-food items can be encouraged for classroom celebrations.

Page 6: GUIDELINES FOR CHILDREN AT RISK FOR ......served/consumed, how to reduce risk in the cafeteria by reviewing food labels, minimizing cross-contamination and other strategies. • Review

HEALTH SERVICES 2017

• Parents wishing to provide food for classroom celebrations are required to submit food nutritional facts 2 weeks in advance of any classroom celebration. The school nurse will review the ingredients and packaging for the presence of known food allergens.

• If the student rides a Klein ISD bus, it is recommended the student have an assigned seat just behind the bus driver, at least through 3rd grade. Variations to this recommendation may be made based on student maturity and history of self-care.

• Students with a licensed health care provider, parent, and school nurse permission will be allowed to carry an epinephrine auto injector on their person.

o The school nurse will verify the students’ competence to self-administer. It should be noted that even when individuals demonstrate skill in self-administration during practice, they may be too anxious to self-administer in an emergency. School staff should be prepared to act quickly.

o The student is required to have an AAP that is reviewed by a licensed healthcare provider annually.

• The school nurse will have two weeks’ advance notice of field trips so appropriate plans can be made for food, training, and medication administration.

• The food allergic student will avoid the food allergen(s) by not sharing food with classmates and not accepting food that has not been planned in advance.

• The school will take threats and/or harassment related to the food allergy seriously.

KISD SNACK GUIDELINES

Pursuant to state law, KISD permits parents/guardians or grandparents to bring a birthday snack for their child's birthday or other school-designated functions. In addition, state law requires each school district to maintain Guidelines for Children at Risk for Anaphylaxis Related to Food Allergy. The following procedures apply to both parent and staff provided snacks:

Parent/Guardian Provided Snacks The campus nurse will be given a two week advanced written notice of the parent’s/guardians decision to provide a snack. This notice allows time for the nurse to determine if allergens are present in the proposed snack and to arrange for suitable substitution if an allergen is identified.

• No substitutions may be made once the campus nurse is given this notice. • Birthday snacks will be distributed at the end of the lunch period, after students have had a

nutritious meal as defined by the School Lunch Program and Texas Department of Agriculture.

• Written consent from a parent/guardian must be obtained before a student will be permitted to have a birthday or other snack.

o Campuses may utilize an annual or individual parent letter requesting written consent.

• Parents/guardians are encouraged to obtain snacks through the Klein ISD Nutrition & Food Services Department. With advance notice, the Nutrition & Food Services Department will prepare selected snacks. Any parent/guardian who provides a snack from a vendor other than KISD must:

o Submit to the campus nurse two weeks in advance of serving the snack: A complete list of ingredients.

1. In the case of commercially prepared food, the list on the product label will be acceptable.

All snacks must be wrapped and packaged in a disposable container. Schools will not be responsible for parents’ personal kitchen items.

Children will not be permitted to carry snacks to school. Snacks for individual consumption, such as bagels, muffins, cupcakes, etc.,

must be individually wrapped.

Klein ISD Provided Snacks

The use of food for instructional and reward purposes may put students at risk for severe allergic reactions.

HEALTH SERVICES 2017

• When teachers plan to utilize food for instructional and reward purposes, the campus nurse must be given two weeks’ prior notice of the decision to provide said snack. This notice allows time for the nurse to determine if allergens are present in the proposed snack and to arrange for suitable substitution if an allergen is identified.

• No substitutions may be made once the campus nurse is given this notice. • Written consent from a parent/guardian must be obtained before a student will be permitted

to have a Klein ISD provided snack. o Campuses may utilize an annual or individual parent letter requesting written

consent.

In keeping with the KISD Wellness Policy FFA (Local) - X, parents/guardians/teachers are encouraged to provide a non-food treat or instructional material for their child’s birthday celebration, such as pencils, erasers, stickers or markers. If a food treat is preferred, healthy treats are encouraged, such as fresh fruit, yogurt, granola bars, etc.

HEALTH SERVICES 2017

EVALUATION

• Should a student experience a food related allergic or anaphylaxis event at school, a Post Event Review will be conducted by the campus Registered Nurse in collaboration with the Campus Food Allergy Management Team. This review should include: • Identify, if possible, the source of allergen exposure and take steps to prevent future

reactions. • Identifying and interviewing those who were involved in the emergency care of the student

and those that witnessed the event. • Meeting with school staff to dispel any rumors and review administrative regulations. • With parent permission, provide factual information to parents and students that complies

with FERPA law and does not identify the individual student. • If the allergic reaction is thought to be from food provided by the school food service, work

with the Nutrition & Food Services Department to ascertain what potential food item was served/consumed, how to reduce risk in the cafeteria by reviewing food labels, minimizing cross-contamination and other strategies.

• Review of the medication orders, FAAP/EAP, IHP, and/or the 504 Plan and amend to address any changes that were made by the student’s healthcare provider. Alterations may require new forms to be signed by the parents.

• If an epinephrine auto-injector was utilized during the reaction, ensure that the parent/guardian replaces it with a new one.

• In the rare event of a fatal reaction, the Klein ISD Crisis Team will be activated to assist the school community in dealing with the death. Healthcare providers with knowledge about food allergies should be on hand to answer questions.

• Return the completed Anaphylaxis Event/Epinephrine Administration Review packet to the office of the Health Services Coordinator.

CONSENT TO RELEASE FOOD ALLERGY INFORMATION

Dear Parent/ Guardian,

The Campus Allergy Management Team works to minimize exposure to food allergens for all students.

While Klein ISD Nutrition & Food Services is dedicated to preventing allergen exposure, Klein ISD

cannot control food items brought from home by other students. By alerting the parents of other students

on the importance of allergen avoidance at school, we can minimize the occurrence of food allergen

exposure to your child.

Klein ISD has formulated a parent letter that can be distributed to your child’s class advising them of a

student with a food allergy. The letter does not identify your child, but details what food allergens should

be left at home and steps to avoid cross contamination. A copy of this letter is attached.

By signing this consent, you are stating you have reviewed the aforementioned parent letter and agree to

have the letter distributed to your child’s homeroom class.

KISD SNACK GUIDELINES

While the use of non food rewards and celebrations is always preferred, Klein ISD acknowledges that there are instances when foods are used appropriately as part of instruction. Additionally the Texas Education Code §28.002(L-3)(1) permits parents/guardians or grandparents to provide a birthday snack for their child's birthday. The following guidelines apply to such snacks:

• The campus nurse will be given a two week advanced written notice of the parent / guardian or faculty decision to provide any food items to students.

• No substitutions may be made once the campus nurse is given this notice. • Birthday snacks will be distributed by Klein ISD staff at the end of the lunch period, after

students have had a nutritious meal as defined by the School Lunch Program and Texas Department of Agriculture.

• Written consent from a parent/guardian must be obtained before a student will be permitted to receive and eat a birthday / classroom snack.

• Campuses may utilize an annual or individual parent letter requesting written consent. • Parents/guardians are encouraged to obtain snacks through the Klein ISD Nutrition & Food

Services Department. With advance notice, the Nutrition & Food Services Department can provide a choice from an assortment of snacks.

• Any parent/guardian who provides a birthday/ seasonal snack not provided by Klein ISD Nutrition & Food Services must:

o Submit to the campus nurse two weeks in advance of serving the snack: A complete list of ingredients included in the snack. In the case of commercially prepared food, the product label must be provided,

including the complete ingredient list and all information about production line exposure to known food allergens.

o All snacks must be individually wrapped and packaged in a disposable container. Schools will not be responsible for parents’ personal kitchen items.

o All snacks must be delivered by the parent to the campus main office, where a written receipt for the item will be prepared. Children will not be permitted to carry snacks to school.

In keeping with the Klein ISD Wellness Policy, parents are encouraged to provide a non food treat for their child’s birthday celebration, such as pencils, pens or stickers. If a food treat is preferred, parents are encouraged to provide a healthy treat for students, such as fruit, yogurt, granola bars, etc.
