Chapter 327 - State Financing of Elementary and Secondary Education
Section 327.535 - School breakfast program; waiver; district election based on federal funding; reimbursement.
(1) Subject to subsections (2) and (3) of this section, a school district that provides lunch at any school site shall make breakfast accessible as part of a breakfast program if 25 percent or more of the students at the site are eligible for free or reduced price lunches under the United States Department of Agriculture's current Income Eligibility Guidelines or the school site qualifies for assistance under Chapter I of Title I of the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965.
(2) A school district that makes breakfast accessible as provided under subsection (1) of this section may apply to the State Board of Education for a waiver for all or for particular grade levels if it is financially unable to implement a breakfast program. The state board may grant a waiver to the school district for a period not to exceed two years, after which the school district must reestablish its claim of financial hardship if the waiver is to be extended.
(3) If the per meal federal reimbursement for the breakfast program falls below the 1991 reimbursement levels, a school district may elect to discontinue the program until federal funding is restored to those levels. No waiver is required for such election.
(4) A school district that makes breakfast accessible at any school site shall make breakfast accessible at that school site at no charge to all students who are eligible for free or reduced price lunches under the United States Department of Agriculture's current Income Eligibility Guidelines. For each breakfast that a school district provides free of charge to a student who is eligible for a reduced price lunch, the Department of Education shall provide reimbursement to the school district for the actual amount that a student would have been required to pay for the reduced price breakfast.
