Title says it all. On Friday my son came off the bus, and I went through his backpack. Somehow another smaller bag was put inside his bag, and in it was a granola bar that contained peanuts, pecans, etc. My son is contact sensitive , and his caprast levels are off the charts. He has his own aide in class who carries his meds, and accompanies him on the bus.
The worst part of the whole thing is usually my son comes home and the first thing he does is goes through his backpack to finish any leftover snack that he brought from home. He is autistic and does not understnad his allergies. He will eat anything.
I called the school administrator, who told me to call the principle of the school. I did that before 9 this morning, and was told I would get a call back in 15 minutes- but NO call has come.
I told the administrator I am not looking for anyone to get into trouble, but I am very concerned about my son's ACCESS to peanuts. This should not have happened. She said simply that the aide should check his backpack before he leaves for the day. NO! Not the answer! The fact that no one has called me back screams to me that they don't see this as an important issue.
Not sure what to do. Any feedback appreciated. Thanks.
No feedback but I just wanted to say sorry that this has happened! Good luck!
