12. Action Item: Texas Summer Mandate Waiver
Presenter:
Shannon Coats
Description:
Texas law requires public school food authorities (SFAs) with 50% or more of enrolled students eligible for free or reduced-price meals in the NSLP to operate a Summer Nutrition Program to provide students in need for a minimum of 30 calendar days during the summer months.
State law now requires the board of trustees to send written notice of the district's intention to request a waiver to the local SHAC. The notice must include an explanation of the district's reason for requesting a waiver. QCISD is requesting the waiver because transportation for our students is an insurmountable obstacle. As there are no public transit providers located in this area, our students would not be able to get here to receive meals. The majority of our students do not live within walking distance. It would be cost prohibitive for the district to supply transportation for the students, and there has been no evidence in the past that the parents/guardians would be able to transport their children to the feeding site. Due to this transportation issue and other factors, we have had very low or no participation in past attempts at providing summer meals. In fact, the reimbursement was not sufficient to cover the cost of the program. |
