| ME | Adopted 01/2006 | P-12 | The Department of Education is proposing amendments to Ch. 51 - Child Nutrition Programs in Public Schools and Institutions. The rule contains the requirements that supplement federal regulations pertaining to the National School Lunch Program, the After School Snack Program, the School Breakfast Program, and the School Milk Program. The rule requires funds from all food and beverage sales made at anytime on school property to accrue to the benefit of the school's non-profit school food service program; with exceptions.
Proposed amendments would allow, under local school board policy or policy established by Career and Technical/Center Cooperative Boards, a school, approved student organization, or program to benefit from the sale of foods and beverages sold at food sales, in school stores, and in vending machines, and for the sponsors of community events to benefit from the sale of food or beverages sold at the event. Amendments also clarify that a school, approved student organization or program may sell foods or beverages if consistent with the requirement that such sales not include foods of minimal nutritional value. The rule amends the current exception for the sale of foods and beverages by Career and Technical Education (CTE) centers or programs to be consistent with all exceptions in the rule which allow, by school board policy or Career Technical Education Region/Center cooperative board policy, the sale of food which include foods of minimal nutritional value as defined in the rule but limits this exception to the CTE Culinary Arts Program.
