My reaction to this is based on how old the child in question is. If he's 5-6, and his allergies are severe as the superintendent and the parents say, I don't think it's unreasonable. The social interactions needed by a child of that age preclude any rationale for home-schooling, as he's not truly disabled, and the child is really too young to manage his illness on his own. If he's in middle or high school, then he should be old enough to either wear a face mask or limit his interactions.
