Re: Sack Lunches in the Lunchroom
Bucklin USD 459 operates a state approved Licensed Food Service
Program and provides a nutritionally balanced meal at breakfast and
lunch. The program receives state and federal reimbursements and is
required to follow federal dietary guidelines. We realize that on
some occasions students may prefer to bring a sack lunch from home.
According to food service district guidelines a sack lunch that is
brought from home must be meal ready and not need any additional
warming or preparation since these prepared items can not be
handled or heated in the licensed food service area and may not
meet the required dietary guidelines as established by Child
Nutrition and Wellness and the Kansas Department of
Agriculture.
Please be aware that when providing a sack breakfast or lunch for
your child that it must be a meal ready breakfast or lunch. We
thank you for your cooperation.
