This Instruction prohibits the denial of meals and milk as a disciplinary action against any child who is enrolled in a school participating in the Chile Nutrition Programs. Such denial of meals or milk is inconsistent with Section 2 and 9 of the National School Lunch Act and Sections 2,3, and 4 of the Child Nutrition Act of 1966.

Program regulations require administering agencies (state educational, alternate or distributing agencies, or Food and Nutrition regional offices) to enter into written agreements with school food authorities or sponsoring organizations of child care facilities or summer sites which desire to participate in one or more of the Department's child nutrition programs.

The purpose of this instruction is to clarify our position on tax-exempt status for Summer Food Service Program sires.

Applications of sponsors who are currently under investigation or audit or which have outstanding obligations related to their prior participation in the Summer Food Service Program should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

This instruction will outline the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) policy regarding the legitimacy of sub-sites (i.e., meals transported from approved sites to feeding locations for which site applications have not been submitted).

This Instruction is to establish the policy for distributing donated foods to camps participating in the Summer Food Service Program.
