Feeding Students in the Fall
Current USDA guidance requires schools to return to the School Nutrition Programs in Fall 2020 (National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program). Schools must return to counting and claiming meals by free, reduced, and paid categories (unless operating CEP).
Nutrition flexibilities are available for School Year 2020-2021. The five nation-wide waivers allow for:
- Grab and go meals for remote students
- Multiple meals to be sent home for multiple days for remote students
- Parents to pick meals up for remote students
- Meals to be delivered to remote students
- High schools to opt out of Offer versus Serve meal service
If you would like to participate in any of the School Year 2020-2021 waivers, please complete the School Nutrition Back-To-School Flexibilities Survey. You only need to complete the sections of the survey that are applicable to the waivers you are requesting. You can fill out the survey more than once if you need to change which waivers you need for School Year 2020-2021.
For more information, contact your regional School Nutrition Specialist.
