ISD 191 to charge for second student meals under federal and state guidance
Summary
Staff presented MSBA-recommended edits to Policy 534 (school meals) clarifying that a first meal is covered but second meals for breakfast or lunch would be charged at cost, and that provisions reflect federal programming administered by the Minnesota Department of Education.
At the ISD 191 Policy Review Committee meeting on Sept. 16, Stacy, a district staff presenter, summarized model-policy edits to Policy 534 (school meals). The recommended changes clarify that a first meal is covered for students while a second meal—whether breakfast or lunch—would be provided at cost if a student requests additional food. Stacy said the edits reflect federal programming administered through the Minnesota Department of Education and that MSBA model language informs the changes.
Committee members had no substantive questions; staff recommended the policy proceed to first reading.
Why it matters: The language clarifies charging for second meals and aligns the district’s policy with state-administered federal nutrition program rules.
