School Bans Peanut Butter

(Medina County, Ohio) According to this report, management by exception is becoming the rule.

Buckeye Local School District Superintendent Craig Bailey is trying to make Litchfield Elementary School nut-free because they cause life-threatening allergic reactions for one of the students.

"Under law, we have the responsibility to do what we can to ensure the child's safety in our building," said Bailey.

There are no plans to discipline students who ignore the ban, but Bailey hopes everyone will voluntarily leave the peanut butter at home.

So, it appears there will be a grace period before the school starts using nut detection portals or employs nut-sniffing dogs. In the meantime, let's all hope that the prohibition on nuts is extended to include the school administrators.
