Thats exactly what I am starting to wonder!! But why take him in the first place than? Seriously, I wouldn't have made a stink and would have just bought him homeschooling materials if they had said no. We also would have considered bringing someone in to teach them at home which I am seriously considering for next year now!

Aargh!
First, I'm know it's not you - I'm saying that this is what I expect of the teachers: that Tev's (or any other kid's) restrictions are not for anyone else to know, and that means that the teachers shouldn't mention it to the other kids. If the protocol is that all kids wash hands after eating, then that's just the class rule, and shouldn't be attributed to any other reason. If the teachers decide that they want to serve the same treat to the whole class, that is there decision and the fact that it is because it is safe for Tev should not be mentioned.
And, I see this as basic derech eretz, chinuch and common sense (the legal thing was just a way of impressing on them how it should be done).
I'm sorry that there is so little interest in the schools in working this out. I'm shocked that the day school wouldn't be interested in making a safe environment, because my experience is that the more broad the intake is, the more the school finds they need to accommodate special needs. I had no objections to what I needed to do for ds (although we had fewer class-wide restrictions, and I just asked for common courtesies, such as informing me if there were kids off-sick [which I didn't get] and no play-do [which I did] and to only feed him food that I sent or approved ahead of time [which I did]).
