It is not a joking manner and is serious. My Epi pen has saved me life not once but twice. Take an allergy seriously and be prepared.

Depending on the severity of the kid's condition, we devise a medical plan for the child with the help of the school nurse. The kid keeps an epi pen in the classroom (or in a fanny pack on themselves for PE and recess times), as well as the office. Everyone on campus is notified of who the kid is and who the designated epi pen people are. Hope this helps from a teacher point of view! :) AS a teacher, I have had kids with peanut allergies in my class.
