Food Service to Children with Special Dietary Needs
Requests for special accommodations for food service usually come through the school nurse or the Child Study Team case manager. Food Service Director asks for a signed health care provider/doctor’s note/orders so that there are medical guidelines. This procedure carries over from year to year unless changes are provided to the Food Service Director. Regardless of the situation, the child is not to be charged an extra cost. Modifications (eg gluten free or thickened water and juice) are submitted for reimbursement in accordance with Bureau of Child Nutrition Guidelines.
If there is difficulty in implementing the request, or the Food Service Director believes it should be denied, the Food Service Director should contact the School Business Administrator who will work with the applicable party (CST, School Nurse, Affirmative Action Officer) to ensure compliance with regulations.
In the event of a denial the parent must be provided with the Procedural Safeguards outlined in the most current USDA “Accommodating Students with Disabilities in the School Meal Program.”
