I hope Gail chimes in here because I know she had a unique relationship with her DD's school on approving items.
Yep. DD is now a sophomore in HS. The 504 Team has approved 3 staff members in the school building to be designated label readers: the Director of Dining Services, the school nurse, and a cooking instructor (from whom DD is currently taking a "creative cooking" class).
This has worked very well for us. Giving approval is a very serious action, and they usually call to consult me. For example, this fall the nurse called me because the ingredient label on Krispie Kreme donuts looked okay, but when she checked the company website she was less certain if the product would be safe for DD. I had stated to staff previously that they were 'okay', so she called me to explain why she would not approve them. In her opinion, there were other/better options and *she* wanted *me* to understand that. 
We've all probably been in her shoes... my younger non-allergic daughter has a friend with PA who is a frequent guest in our home. Her mother allows her to consume all types of food that I would not allow my DD with PA to consume. But *my* house = *my* responsibility = *my* rules. Her mother may allow her to consume something I consider unsafe, but certainly not in *my* home under *my* supervision.
Same is true with me and our school nurse.
And I thank my lucky stars.
