Santa Monica School District Peanut Ban
Some classrooms are already peanut free.
Now, some students at Santa Monica High School are considering asking the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District Board of Education for an all-out ban at their school.
In its newest edition published Tuesday, the student newspaper reported that there's a petition calling for the ban being circulated by students who suffer from peanut allergies.
The report was accompanied by a feature story in the arts and entertainment section chronicling the life of a student with severe peanut allergies. Johanna Turner was home schooled the second-half of her junior year after suffering allergic reactions on campus.
Now in her senior year, Turner wears a hypoallergenic mask during lunch and passing periods.
