Food Allergy Guidelines

Food Allergies

The Commissioner of the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) in consultation with the legislated Ad-Hoc Committee developed the Guidelines for the Care of Students with Food Allergies At-Risk for Anaphylaxis for use by local boards of trustees of school districts and governing bodies of open-enrollment charter schools. These guidelines are meant to serve merely as a reference (and illustrative) guide and are intended to assist a district or charter school in developing and administering a policy for the care of students with diagnosed food allergies at risk for anaphylaxis.
