Breakfast & Lunch Requirements 

 

Requirements for Reimbursable Meals

A+ Charter Schools operates under the Offer vs. Serve Option for the National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs. 

A reimbursable meal is required by the USDA, and every school participating in the National School Lunch and/or Breakfast Program must offer specific components to students daily. However, if the school participates in the Offer vs. Serve program, students are not required to take every component offered. Below are the component requirements set by the USDA, based on the meal and grade level.

Breakfast Requirement (PK- 12)

  • 1 cup fruit
  • 1 oz grain
  • 1 cup milk

Lunch Requirement (PK- 8)

  • ½ cup fruit
  • ¾ cup vegetables

  • 1 cup milk

Lunch Requirement (9-12)

For breakfast, each meal must include at least 3 items, with 1 item being a fruit. A total of 4 items must be offered to students at each breakfast.

 

For lunch, each meal must include at least 3 components, with 1 component being either a fruit or vegetable, in order to be counted as reimbursable. If these requirements are not met, the student will be charged à la carte pricing.
