student is allergic to dogs and another uses a service dog, the student
using the service animal should be accommodated. However, there needs to be
some thought given to the student with allergies. When they are in a class
together, they should be spacially separated. Here is just such an idea from
the Department of Justice’s document, Revised ADA Requirements; Service
Animals. This is in regard to the new regulations published in
2010.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

and fear of dogs are not valid reasons for denying access or refusing
service to people using service animals. When a person who is allergic to
dog dander and a person who uses a service animal must spend time in the
same room or facility, for example, in a school classroom or at a homeless
shelter, they both should be accommodated by assigning them, if possible,
to different locations within the room or different rooms in the
facility.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></LI></UL>

Accommodation Network has suggestions for this kind of scenario in the
workplace. Some of those ideas would not and cannot work in a school
setting, but some of them might help to improve the situation. For example,
perhaps a portable air purifier could be used in the class room and/or a
HEPA filter could be used for the ventilation system for that room. Also,
perhaps the student with the service animal could agree to use a dander
control product from the veterinarian or local pet store. The school could
also make for certain that the class room is cleaned regularly; dusted,
vacuumed, floors washed, etc. Here is the link to the JAN
document.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
