School Year End

Question:

My SAU is ending the school year on June 5th, however the administration would like the school nutrition program to continue serving meals to students until June 30th.  Is this allowable?

Answer:

Yes, under the current waivers, a SAU may continue serving meals until June 30th.  On July 1st, the National School Lunch and Breakfast Program fiscal year ends and summer food programs begin.  If the SAU would like to continue serving meals to students after June 30th, a summer food application must be submitted into the Office of Nutrition Programs and Services by June 15, 2020.  There are three options for summer food programs, therefore a comparison chart is attached that summarizes all three.  Please contact the Office of Nutrition Programs and Services if the SAU decides to enter a summer food program or if additional guidance is needed.
