LEVERETT SCHOOL
COMMITTEE
FREE AND REDUCED PRICE
FOOD SERVICES
The
school system will take part in the National School Lunch Program and other
food programs that may become available to assure that all children in the
schools receive proper nourishment.
In
accordance with guidelines for participation in these programs, and in
accordance with the wishes of the Committee, no child who a teacher believes is
improperly nourished will be denied a free lunch or other food simply because
proper application has not been received from his/her parents or guardians.
As
required by state and federal regulations, the School Committee approves this
policy statement pertaining to eligibility for free milk, free meals, and
reduced price meals.
