That is by design, and necessary for the system to work correctly. (The allergy information field also should not be changed, though it may not be protected on accounts created fairly in the beta test.)


The system needs to know two pieces of information about medical needs and allergies: 1) whether or not the student has any and 2) what they are. That is the purpose served by the "checkbox with details". The checkbox identifies the student as having allergies or a medical condition. If checked, the parent will be presented with a text field where they are prompted to enter the details. Without the checkbox, the system would incorrectly flag students as having allergies or medical needs if parents entered something like "None," "No" or "N/A" in the box.
