710.2 FREE OR REDUCED COST MEALS ELIGIBILITY

Students enrolled and attending school in the school district, who are unable to afford the special milk program, the cost or a portion of the cost of the school lunch, breakfast and supplemental foods, shall be provided the school food program services at no cost or at a reduced cost.

It is the responsibility of the building principal to determine if a student qualifies for free or reduced cost school food services.  Students, whom the principal believes are improperly nourished, shall not be denied the school food program services simply because the paperwork has not been completed.

Employees, students and others shall be required to purchase tickets for meals consumed.

It is the responsibility of the superintendent to develop administrative regulations for implementing this policy.
