National School Lunch Program - The National School Lunch Program is available to any public or private nonprofit school or licensed residential child care institution. The objectives of the National School Lunch Program are to make available to all students enrolled in schools and institutions a meal during a period designated as the lunch period; to provide nutritionally adequate meals that are acceptable to students, thus reducing plate waste; to provide assistance to participants to ensure that minimum meal requirements are met; and to ensure that all programs are accountable. School districts and residential child care institutions may receive reimbursement for lunches served to enrolled students at predetermined rates established for free, reduced-price, or full-price meals each fiscal year.
National School Breakfast Program - As with the National School Lunch Program, any public or private nonprofit school or licensed residential child care institution is eligible to benefit from the School Breakfast Program. School districts and residential child care institutions may receive reimbursement for breakfasts served to enrolled students at predetermined rates established for free, reduced-price, or full-price meals each fiscal year.
After-School Snack Program - Sections 107 and 108 of Public Law 105-336 (the Child Nutrition Reauthorization Act of 1998) authorizes reimbursement for snacks served to children through the age of 18 (and to individuals, regardless of age, who are determined by the State Department of Education [the State Agency] to be mentally or physically disabled) who participate in programs organized to provide after-school care. The intent is to assist sites in operating organized programs of care which include education or enrichment activities known to help reduce or prevent children’s involvement in juvenile crime or other high-risk behavior.
Summer Food Service Program - While learning does not end when school lets out, neither does the need for good nutrition. The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) is good nutritious food that’s “in” when school is “out.” It was created to ensure that children in low-income areas could continue to receive nutritious meals during long school vacations, when they do not have access to school lunch or breakfast.
Nutrition Education and Training Program - Oklahoma’s food service and nutrition education efforts were augmented with the passage of the Child Nutrition Act of 1977, as amended, creating the NET program. Goals of this federal legislation were to:- Teach children the relationship between food and health and encourage good eating habits.
- Train food service personnel in nutrition and food service management and encourage use of the school cafeteria as an environment for learning about food and nutrition.
- Instruct educators in nutrition education and in the use of the cafeteria as a learning laboratory.
- Develop or purchase appropriate nutrition education and training materials and curricula.
Special Milk Program - School districts which have split-session kindergarten and preprimary students who do not have access to the National School Lunch and/or School Breakfast Programs may receive reimbursement for milk served to these students. Schools may choose either to serve milk free to students qualifying according to family income, serve milk at a set price to all students, or serve milk free to all students
Child and Adult Care Food Program - Child care centers, adult day care centers, Head Start programs, and family day care homes may participate in the Child and Adult Care Food Program. Eligible institutions include settlement houses, day care centers, organizations providing day care services for disabled individuals and /or adults 60 years of age or older, and outside-school-hours care centers. Organizations eligible to sponsor a CACFP include units of state or local government; nonprofit private organizations such as community action agencies and churches; and private for-profit organizations sponsoring Title XX and Title XIX centers which receive Title XX and Title XIX compensation for at least 25 percent of the participants enrolled or 25 percent of license capacity, whichever is less.In accordance with federal law and U.S. Department of Agriculture policy, this institution is prohibited from discriminating on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability.
