Meal Services to Children with Disabilities
The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and School Breakfast Program (SBP) aim to provide all participating children, regardless of background, with the nutritious meals they need to be healthy. This includes ensuring children with disabilities have an equal opportunity to participate in and benefit from the NSLP and SBP.
Federal regulations require schools and institutions to serve meals at no extra charge to those children whose disability restricts their diet in such a way that they cannot fully participate in the food service program without some modification to the foods offered or the scheduled menu. If you believe your child needs substitutions because of a disability, please get in touch with us for further information. You must request meal modifications from the school and provide the school with a medical statement from a State licensed healthcare professional or a Registered Dietitian. This medical statement must contain but is not limited to the following:
- Information about the child’s physical or mental impairment that is sufficient to allow the school to understand how it restricts the child’s diet,
- An explanation of what must be done to accommodate the child’s special dietary need,
- The food or foods to be omitted and recommended alternatives, in the case of a modified meal
If you have questions regarding the need for meal modifications, contact Colleen Wise at 518-207-2474 or wiseco@egcsd.org for further information.
Backpack Programs
All East Greenbush CSD schools operate Backpack Programs in which students in need are sent home with backpacks full of food for the weekends. Backpack Programs are operated by the school social workers. If you are interested in participating, please reach out to your school directly.
