Federal regulations require schools and institutions to serve meals
at no extra charge to those children whose disability restricts their
diet in such a way that they cannot fully participate in the food
service program without some modification to the foods offered on the
scheduled menu. Parents must request the special meals from the school
and provide the school with medical certification from a medical doctor.
This medical certification must contain the following:
- Verification that special meals are needed due to the student's disability.
- Recommendation/prescription for alternate foods and forms of food needed to meet the student's special dietary needs.
Allergies
Though
the School Lunch Department is not required to offer supplemental foods
or monitor students' diets, we like to make every effort to ensure the
safety and well-being of your child. If your child has a severe food
allergy, please send the following information to:
Steven Small
Food Service Director
Brockport Central School
40 Allen Street
Brockport, NY 14420
- Parent
Letter requesting special meals with certification from a Medical
Authority stating the foods that are potentially dangerous or life
threatening.
- Lactose Intolerance: If your child is lactose
intolerant, a signed medical note from your physician (this is a USDA
requirement) must be on file in order for an alternative drink choice to
be offered in place of milk.
- We currently offer Lactaid at all schools!
Special Note:
Our department is unable to cook or re-heat any meals sent from home
due to cross contamination concerns and Health Department regulations.
