§199.  Retention of reimbursement funds by local school boards, etc.  

Any state funds received by any local school board or other agency or person for the operation of a school lunch program pursuant to the provisions of this Sub-part shall constitute reimbursement to the school board, agency or person receiving such funds for expenditures made or obligations incurred prior to the receipt of such state funds.  State funds shall be deemed to have been expended by the state department of education at the time of disbursement by said board to the sponsor of the school lunch program and shall be deemed to be encumbered by the state board of education as of the date upon which the report of meals served during any reporting period fixed by the board is received by the state department of education.  

Should any state funds be received by the operator of a school lunch program after the close of the school year or the termination of the school lunch program for the school year, or should any funds previously received as reimbursement funds remain in the hands of any local school board or other agency or person charged with responsibility for the operation of a school lunch program at the close of any fiscal year, such funds shall remain the property of the local school board, agency or person, and no portion thereof which may remain unexpended or unencumbered at the close of any fiscal year shall revert to the state, its general fund or to the state board of education.
