USDA GUIDANCE ON PAID LUNCH EQUITY Section 205 “Equity in School Lunch Pricing” is a provision of the federal child nutrition reauthorization bipartisan legislation passed by Congress in 2010 which amends the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act. The law requires that local education agencies participating in the federal National School Lunch Program ensure that schools are providing the same level of support for lunches served to students who are not eligible for free or reduced price lunches (i. e. paid student lunches).

Paid Lunch Equity SY 2013 -14 If the SFA/LEA weighted average price charged for student lunches in the 2011 -12 school year was less than $2. 59, districts required to increase the price a minimum of 4. 93%. SFAs that choose to contribute non-Federal sources to the nonprofit school food service account in lieu of raising paid lunch prices must calculate the appropriate amount to contribute.

Paid Lunch Equity SY 2013 -14 SFAs could have chosen to split the SY 201314 requirement by both raising paid lunch prices and contributing funds from non. Federal sources. Complete Paid Lunch Equity Tool (PLE Tool) Must submit copy of the District Calculation Results of PLE Tool with the Renewal Agreement

Reimbursement claim is based on % of free, reduced and paid students established in Base Year. Extension can be granted for additional 4 years if district can establish economic conditions have not changed significantly from Base Year.

Provision 2 Since no money can be collected from reduced or paid students, the district commits to make up the difference between federal reimbursement of free/reduced/paid meals and student revenues received by reduced or paid students.

Provision 2 Benefits: Provides a climate where all students are on equal status within cafeteria environment. Eliminates yearly distribution and evaluation of applications (except for base year)

Financial Management Fiscal Accountability of Income and Expense Accountability of Program Reimbursement Total Program Accountability

Financial Management Budget Considerations Sources of Revenue Allowable Program Expenses

Budget Considerations Students are Customers for Healthy Food Choices (Also parents and staff) Nutrition Standards and Meal Requirements must be in compliance Revenues are Controlled by School Boards and Federal Reimbursements

Budget Considerations Menus Drive ◦ Food Costs ◦ Labor Costs ◦ Equipment Needs and other expenses

Sources of Revenue Federal Reimbursement for student meals are set as of July 1 each year Paid Student Meal Prices are set by the School Board (and USDA) A la Carte sales in Secondary Schools Adult Meal Sales Catering of School Functions NON-Cash Assets – USDA Commodities NSLP State Match

USDA Commodities Amount of commodity money = number of lunches served X $. 2325 Costs $4. 09 per case to have food delivered Costs $3. 09 per case to pick up food from warehouse in Van Buren Can receive direct shipment of 250 cases of one item: delivered for free

Child Nutrition Administrative Guidance Example: Adult Meal Prices Breakfasts and lunches served to teachers, parents, administrators, custodians, and other adults or non students not involved in the direct provision of school meals must be priced so that the payment is sufficient to cover the FULL COST of the meal. FNS Instruction 782 -5; 7 CFR Parts 210 and 220.

Revised Guidance on Adult Meal Pricing: ◦ Adult Lunch Charges Must be: ◦ Amount of Reimbursement for Section 4 and 11 of the National School Act PLUS (+) Amount of Per Meal Value of Commodity/Donated Foods and Bonus Foods EQUALS (=) Adult Meal Price Example: PAL Rate $ 2. 93 Safety Net $ 2. 95 + 0. 2325 Recommended Adult Charge $3. 1625 or $ 3. 1825 (Must add 6 cents if certified) $3. 2225 or $ 3. 2425 Regular Rounded to $ 3. 25 per Adult Lunch

Adult Breakfast Prices Adult meal price for School Breakfast should be at least the amount of the free reimbursement rate for breakfast at the school -$1. 58 If severe need school: must be $1. 89

Financial Management USDA Regulations determine allowable expenditures or how the money can be spent. Child Nutrition non-profit food service account funds CAN ONLY be spent for Child Nutrition Expenses Child Nutrition programs must provide proof they are charging enough for alacarte items to pay for all costs associated with production and service

Commissioner’s Memo IA-04 -022 Child Nutrition Administrative Guidance Section III. Financial Management A. Claim For Reimbursement B. Investing Child Nutrition Funds C. Loans to the Programs D. Revenue/Expenditure and Non-allowable Costs E. Capital Expense Exceptions F. Separation of Funds for Federal Child Nutrition Programs

Examples of Non-Allowable Expenditures Bad Debts Fines and Penalties Legislative Expense or Direction Capital Expenditures (if you can not take it to a new facility, then you can not buy it with food service funds)

Procurement Requirements Buy American Fresh Fruits & Vegetables Geographic Preference Option Farm to School Tracking Discounts, Rebates and Refunds on all procurement contracts

Buy American --- See ADE Commissioner’s Memo FIN-08 -033 Include a Buy American clause in all procurement documents (product specifications, bid solicitations, requests for proposals, Price Quotation Sheets, purchase orders, etc) Require suppliers to certify the origin of the product.

Buy American --- See ADE Commissioner’s Memo FIN-08 -033 Examine product packaging for identification of the country of origin. Ask the supplier for specific information about the percentage of U. S. content in the food product.

Fresh Fruits & Vegetables Geographic Preference Option School Districts may have the OPTION to give Geographic Preference to local farmers to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables. Section 4302 of P. L. 110 -246 amended section 9(j) of the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act (NSLA) requires the Secretary of Agriculture to encourage institutions operating the Child Nutrition Programs to purchase unprocessed locally grown and locally raised agricultural products.

Tracking of Discounts, Rebates & Credits Local Districts - Requires that allowable costs paid from the nonprofit school food service account be net of all discounts, rebates, and applicable credits when paid. State Agencies are required to monitor local districts to ensure a system for tracking discounts, rebates and credits is in place. Legislative Audit – Compliance Issue beginning SY 07 -08 – will be checking to see what districts have been doing to track these items.

Contracts and Purchases CONTRACTS/PURCHASES : Contract Purchases for goods and services that are considered allowable costs for the program and that include rebates, discounts or applicable credits must have: 1. an audit trail (documentation) to ensure that these discounts, rebates and credits have been given to the program on invoices or bills from company

Contracts and Discounts 2. a tracking system for discounts, rebates and credits to ensure that CN payment of invoices at the time of payment are net of such rebates, discounts or credits. If the company forgets to apply applicable credits, it is the district’s responsibility to take these credits, discounts and rebates on the invoices.

What will auditors review? Does the local district have a Tracking System of Rebates, Discounts or Credits to ensure that these are applied to Child Nutrition invoices prior to payment or at the time of payment? Has the district kept supporting documentation to show compliance with district tracking system?
