<<One thing where we may differ is, I believe that IF it is a school policy to not allow peanuts (however ill advised that policy may be) then it needs to be taken very seriously by parents.>> We agree on this point also. <<But if it obviously is a deliberate act by some parent on a tirade, then I think at minimum there should be a fine for this behavior.>> This is where we differ. A school board does not have the authority to pass laws. Therefore, they can't fine anyone. The only recourse they have would relate to the student, not the parents, and it seems unfair to punish the student (say through expulsion, suspension or detention) for something over which they have little or no control.
