Public Release
School food authorities (SFAs) are required to annually provide a public release of the Free and Reduced Price Meals Policy and/or the Special Milk Program Policy that is published at the district level. CDE School Nutrition Unit publishes a state-wide public release to meet this requirement for Colorado SFAs.This state-wide public release includes all sites participating in the National School Lunch Program and/or the Special Milk Program. Colorado SFAs can publish the public release locally as a best practice, but this is not required.
