School Pet policies

[Michele Missner <missnerm@ATHENET.NET>]

A couple of years ago all pets were banned from the schools in our
district because of allergies and other problems.  One of our
administrators --a new one-- is looking at the beneficial effects of pets
to bring them back to the classroom.  (This banning was for classroom
pets).  Are there any school districts that have such a policy?  My
present job is to look for articles on the beneficial effects of pets and
I know that those articles exist.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks,
Michele
