[QUOTE="Tiapet, post: 357654, member: 455"] In the school district down here, which is a whole county not town by town, each school seems to have their own policy which is so crazy. What is even crazier is that it seems that the kids keep getting "reassigned" to different schools each year as well. My kids have been in different schools. My youngest has been in 3, my middle one 2 different. My oldest at least has maintained the same high school for her 4 years. Luckily we do get the option to choose year round schools, tradition, or magnet options. One of the schools said No treats at all. One school said ONLY store bought treats due to liability issues and allergy problems _my son has allergy problems and I don't see the difference between store bought or home baked personally if you just ASK about ingredients or cooking issues or just opt out or provide a staple in classroom standardly for when those times come up like I did. And yet another one allowed any kind of treat but said it had to be distributed ONLY at lunch times! Why couldn't they adopt a district wide policy so that every school was on the same rule and you knew what to expect ALL the time? The do prefer in all the schools, however, the healthier treats (like pretzels, fruit chews, etc.) or non foods. Same goes for Valentine's day or holiday treats. [/QUOTE]
