USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer.”

  15. Equal Access A school must provide equal access to all eligible participants regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability.

  16. Reasonable Accommodation of persons with disabilities • A School Nutrition Program is required to provide FOOD SUBSTITUTIONS or MODIFICATIONS if: • A physician’s statement is on file that describes the participant’s disability (a disability as defined in federal regulations) that prevents the participant from eating the regularly offered foods; and • B. The physician has indicated the substitutions or • modifications that the participant needs.

  17. Reasonable Accommodation Situation:A parent complains about the choices provided during breakfast and demands that gluten-free products be provided for her child. What must the school do, and how does this relate to civil rights?

  18. Reasonable Accommodation Situation:Representatives from an ethnic minority group contact the school and request that ethnic food choices be made available. Could their request be a civil rights issue?

  19. Language Assistance • Sponsors must take reasonable steps to assure “meaningful” access to the information and services they provide… especially for people with Limited English Proficiency (LEP). • Meaningful access could include: • The distribution of Applications for Educational Benefits, household letter and Approval/Denial letter in different languages. • Hiring a bilingual interpreter to assist applicants with form completion or to provide basic School Nutrition Program information to LEP program participants.

  21. Complaint Procedures • The school is encouraged to discuss the civil rights issue with the person who has filed the complaint in an effort to resolve the problem at the lowest level as expeditiously as possible. • Whether or not the issue is resolved at the school level…a person alleging discrimination has a right to file a complaint within 180 days of the discriminatory action and must be advised of confidentiality.

  34. SPPS Summer Feeding Program Thank You Hunger is one of the most severe roadblocks to the learning process. Lack of nutrition during the summer months may set up a cycle for poor performance once school begins again. Hunger also may make children more prone to illness and other health issues. The Summer Food Service Program is designed to fill that nutrition gap and make sure children can get the nutritious meals they need.
