CHARGING SCHOOL MEALS AND PROHIBITION AGAINST SHAMING
The Lynbrook School District believes that one of the most important ways we can help our children perform better in their classrooms is to provide them with the nutrition necessary for the healthy growth of their minds and bodies. We invite students to participate in the food service program. New York State’s Universal Free School Meals program begins this school year, providing meals at no cost to students. See the District’s website for more information. If the Universal Free School Meals program ends, students may buy breakfast for $3.00 and lunch for $4.25 each day. Children from households that meet federal income guidelines are eligible for free meals or reduced-price meals regardless of whether the Universal Free School Meals program continues.
If the Universal Free School Meals program mentioned above ends, the Board of Education recognizes that, on occasion, students may forget to bring meal money to school. To ensure that students do not go hungry, but also to promote responsible student behavior and minimize the fiscal burden to the district, the Board will allow students who may forget meal money to “charge” the cost of meals to be paid back at a later date. For details about this policy, please visit the Board of Education Policies Page at www.lynbrookschools.org.
