Horrible, son w/nut allergy attended one day.  First thing they did was have nut containing food in the class, even though they assured us our son who has a severe allergy would be safe.  After that came up with a vague allergy plan and refused to use our step by step plan.  Lots more to say, but so little time.  If your child has a medical issue, STAY AWAY!!!
