School Guidelines on Dealing with Food Allergies (requires Adobe Acrobat software)
Food allergies can be life-threatening. The risk of accidental exposure to foods can be reduced in the school setting if schools work with students, parents, and physicians to minimize risks and provide a safe educational environment for food-allergic students.

Summer Food Service Program Internet-Friendly Utility
The Economic Research Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture has developed an interactive, internet-friendly mapping utility. This utility combines data on 2001 SFSP sponsors and sites, Census 2000 data on small geographic areas, and school census data. Users can create maps that allow them to see whether SFSP sites are located in areas of the highest need, and whether some qualified areas have been overlooked. The Map Machine also allows for in-depth analysis of program coverage using the underlying data from the three databases.
