The Grand Rapids Public School District takes food allergies seriously. We understand that food allergies can be life-threatening. Recognizing that the risk of accidental exposure to foods can be reduced in the school setting, we are committed to working with students, parent(s)/guardian(s), and physicians to minimize risks and provide a safe educational environment for food-allergic students.
The Director of Nutrition Services shall act affirmatively and work closely with the school principal, school nurse, along with the parent(s)/guardian(s) to assure that the dietary needs of food-allergic students are taken into consideration in menu planning for the District’s school meal programs.
