I will just bet that SHE found it pretty strange, too, fwiw.

This is the kind of passive-aggressive nonsense that goes on around food allergies, honestly. There's a reason why 504 evaluation is the most appropriate tool to begin with. Because, hel-LO? INDIVIDUAL accommodations. Not one-size-fits-most.

Sounds to me as though this parent was being pummeled with "policy states that" when she had the gall (!) to bring it up at all and make it the "problem" of the school.

I'm a bit cynical about this kind of thing at this point, however.
