Food Allergy Management
GPISD Food Allergy Policy
Galena Park ISD has developed and will maintain a policy to address the needs of students with a diagnosed food allergy who are at risk for anaphylaxis.
The district requests the parent to notify the school when a student has been diagnosed with a food allergy, especially those allergies that could result in dangerous or possibly life-threatening reactions either by inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact with the particular food. It is important to disclose the food to which the student is allergic, as well as the nature of the allergic reaction. Please contact the school nurse or campus principal if your child has a known food allergy or as soon as possible after any diagnosis of a food allergy.
The district has a food allergy management plan, which addresses employee training, dealing with common food allergens and specific strategies for dealing with students diagnosed with severe food allergies. When the district receives information that a student has a food allergy that puts the student at risk for anaphylaxis, individual care plans will be developed to assist the student in safely accessing the school environment. For more information please refer to FFAF (Local) Board policy.
