Food banned in Milford classrooms
MILFORD -- The School Committee voted, 5-1, last night to approve a partial ban on food in classrooms after a fourth reading of the 12-page policy.
NOTE: the word 'partial'... its not a ban.. its not even a prtial ban in my eyes, and Im kinda disgusted by the way things turned out.. better than what we had (which was nothing), but...
I dont know what to think yet...

So....after reading through the proposed policy 12 times all they could come up with is don't share food??? Nice little CYA with the "when possible" blah, blah, blah. Are students allowed to bring in any food they want?
I'm just curious, what was the policy before? Let's all bring in a gold ol' jar of pb and share it? Sorry, feeling very sarcastic today....
I'm sorry this didn't turn out the way you wanted it to. I hope you have the opportunity to add to/change this policy.

Policy before was this, and I quote:

Students are allowed to, apparently, bring what they want... I'm VERY surprised that no nurse mentioned ANYTHING about going nut-free, given the forecast of allergies (the rise...). But no one asked for MY help on the proposal... (sigh)

Ah, I get the picture. So you're a real live food allergy pioneer huh? Lucky you.
Well, in that case, at least it's a start right?

So, whether or not something is "put into writing" or "not put into writing" does an obligation change? You know, what is apparent or indicated or prudent [i]or possible[/i]? What exactly does "putting it into writing" (or not) accomplish?
