SPECIAL DIETARY NEEDS
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and School Breakfast Program (SBP) require that schools make substitutions to the regular meal for students who are unable to eat the meal because of their disabilities. The Child Nutrition Department will make reasonable accommodations when a student’s disability restricts their diet. The disability is supported by a medical statement signed by a medical authority that the State licenses to write medical prescriptions or meal accommodation requirements in a student’s individualized education program (IEP).
Substitutions are required for students that have:
• A physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, including eating
• Food allergies that may result in severe, life-threatening (anaphylactic) reactions
These conditions meet the definition of “disability,” and substitutions prescribed by the licensed physician must be made.
For more information please contact LISD Child Nutrition at 903-381-2200.
