Lynda, Most parochial schools get federal funding for their hot lunch programs and
therefore have to adhere to the 504.  Unfortunately the parochial schools often
don't understand the 504 laws or realize they have to adhere to them (I am
speaking from experience).

allergies or asthma goes to public schools (as opposed to private or parochial
schools) then accommodations for dietary considerations as well as dispensing of
medications and treatment of emergencies must be accommodated by the school in
accordance with applicable federal disability laws.
