MEDINA COUNTY, Ohio -- Students across Ohio are finding out what lunch is like without the classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich, as school districts try to make accommodations for the growing numbers of students with food allergies.

NewsChannel5's Debora Lee reported on a Medina County school where nut products are being banned because of a student with a severe allergy.

Buckeye Local School District Superintendent Craig Bailey is trying to make Litchfield Elementary School nut-free because they cause life-threatening allergic reactions for one of the students.

"Under law, we have the responsibility to do what we can to ensure the child's safety in our building," said Bailey.

There are no plans to discipline students who ignore the ban, but Bailey hopes everyone will voluntarily leave the peanut butter at home.

The ban will go into effect next month when the Litchfield students return from spring break.

Bailey also says the ban will likely follow the student into junior high and high school.
