Our Legislators Regarding Food Allergies in School

Dear Members,
Thursday December 11 was a meeting called PSD Legislation Summit. In attendance was, but not limited to: Senator Bob Bacon, Rep. John Kefalas, Rep. Randy Fisher, PSD Super. Wilson, and US Congresswoman Betsy Markey. The following question was read by the Moderator:
"Several State legislatures have recently passed laws regarding food allergy management in public education facilities. Legislation is currently pending in the U.S. House of Reps. and I have heard legislation may be introduced in the Colo. House. Are you aware of this? And are you an advocate for it?"
None of the above listed attendees voiced knowledge of the food allergy legislation. One or more stated Colo. is an on site managed school system and these matters may be better managed on a local/individual level.
This meeting can be viewed on the PSD Cable Channel 10 or contact district for other ways to view so you can generate your view of this issue...
