Area Eligible Sites

Question:

My SAU is already serving from normally area eligible sites only for the school year COVID 19 emergency period.  Can we enter a summer feeding program prior to June 30th?

Answer:

Yes, the SAU may enter a summer food program prior to June 30th because it does not need the area eligibility waiver to continue into the summer food program. However, the appropriate application for the summer food program must be submitted to the DOE by June 15 and approved by the DOE before the summer program can begin.
