It depends -- I know at some schools they are very strict about telling kids (and their parents) not to bring anything to school -- no toys, no candy, etc. Handing out anything turns into problems with possible allergies, arguments about stealing, etc.
Different school, but we already had a letter home this year about kids handing out bags of sugar and kool-aid and calling it "happy crack." Of course, that's been happening for years, according to the neighbors' older kids, who remembered that happening in their elementary school days.

The report says that the kindergarten boy didn't know what the material was, but that he will face disciplinary action. Does that make sense?

What punishment will the source of the materials get? Have not heard anyting about that.
No arrests yet, as of Thursday afternoon and the Lame Stream Media. (KDKA Radio)
Here is a suitable punishment for the kid, parent charged with crime.
