[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 406826, member: 1233"] It does not MATTER if he has free lunch or not, or if he never buys his lunch or never packs it. The rules for the free lunch program are that EVERY child in the school MUST have lunch EVERY DAY no matter what. Forgetting that the kid has been sitting in the office all day is NOT an excuse, neither is saying the child refused to eat. He still MUST spend some time sitting wtih food. Period. The feds are NOT joking around wtih this and can get really nitpicky on a school that has had a complaint filed. Feds also make it crystal clear when they sign you up for the program (as a district) that this is NOT something that can be worked around, negotiated, or messed with. NO ONE is allowed to use food or access to food as a punishment. Period. They also are firm on certain guidelines as to what every child must have if htey get a hot lunch - ANY changes require a TON of paperwork for both you and the doctor to fill out. Otherwise the school can lose funding for the lunch program if they don't give a child a veg one day or an entree the next because of allergies or religion or whatever. Until ALL of the paperwork is filled out they still have to provide a lunch which has certain basic elements. We learned this when thank you went to school because his food allergies. [/QUOTE]
