FOOD ALLERGY 

  • In accordance with State guidelines, Senate Bill 27, a food and the Texas Education Code, Section 38.209, an allergy management plan has been developed and implemented by the District that includes general procedures to limit the risk posed to students with food allergies, and specific procedures to address the care of students with a diagnosed food allergy who are at risk for anaphylaxis. 

  • Each school campus will be supplied with the required amount of epinephrine auto injectors for pediatric and adult dosages, approved by an advising physician, to be used for cases of suspected anaphylaxis. 

  • Katy ISD will ensure that a sufficient number of school personnel at each campus are trained to administer epinephrine. Currently, this program is being funded by an outside source and if this funding source were to cease, the implementation of stock epinephrine auto-injectors will be re-evaluated by Katy ISD. 

  • Parents of a student with known, life-threatening anaphylaxis should provide the school with all necessary medications for implementing student specific orders on an annual basis. This guideline is not intended to replace student specific orders or parent-provided individual medication.
