NUTRITION
PROGRAMS, CHILD
A board of education can be required by the state board of education to
establish a school breakfast and/or lunch program if at least 20% of the
students in that building are eligible under the National School Lunch Act
and the Child Nutrition Act of 1966.
The school district must also operate one of the following nutrition
programs for any summer intervention that it offers: extension of school
breakfast program; extension of school lunch program; or summer food
service program.
A board of education may determine that it cannot comply with the
above requirements for financial reasons. Districts may then not comply
if the board of education communicates, in a manner it deems
appropriate, its decision to district residents.
A board of education may not refuse to comply if: 1) at least one-half of
the parents of students have requested a school breakfast program; or
2) at least one-third of the students are eligible for free meals. However,
if a district cannot provide the service but is subject to the requirements,
the district board of education can apply to the state board for an
extension of time to implement. One “good cause” for an extension of
time is the “economic impossibility of compliance.”
In all cases, a board may establish a charge for its breakfasts, lunches,
or snacks in accordance with federal rules. However, that charge may
not be assessed to those students eligible for free and reduced price
food,
