<dd> While working with one of the Bergen county school
districts we came across this problem, so I just wanted to share some
helpful information.<br>
<dd> <br>
<dd>In a situation where one 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.<br>
<dd>
<dd>Allergies 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.

<dd> <br>
<dd>The Job 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.<br>
