What is a reimbursable meal?

What is a reimbursable meal?

A reimbursable meal is a federal formula which helps each district determine whether they receive a monetary reimbursement from the federal government for each meal given to students. All students are only allowed one reimbursable meal for breakfast, and one for lunch. We consider any extra items a la carte, and you must pay for them. In order to get that reimbursement, we must follow the USDA guidelines and the “Offer versus Serve” program. The lunch and breakfast programs are a little different, so let’s just start with lunch.

There are different requirements for different age groups for certain components. For example, at the high school level, we need to offer 10 to 12 bread/grain servings each week. At the middle school we need to offer 8 to 10 bread/grain servings each week. At the elementary level, we offer 8 to 9 servings of bread/grain items each week.

Example one of a reimbursable lunch:

The main item is whole grain spaghetti with meat sauce. We put the pasta and meat sauce on the student’s tray. Because it contains a bread/grain component and the meat component, the student then only needs to take a serving of a fruit or vegetable to meet the minimum requirement for a reimbursable meal. We will not charge your student to take a carton of milk or other item offered as part of the regular lunch, such as one breadstick.

Example two of a reimbursable lunch:

The main item is chili. The chili counts as the meat/meat alternate item. Students would have to take two more components for us to count that as a reimbursable meal. They could choose from an 8 oz. carton of milk, a serving of fruit, a serving of vegetables, or a serving of a bread/grain item. Again, one of the three components on their tray has to be a serving of a fruit or vegetable.

Breakfast:
At breakfast, we must offer four food items from three required food components:

  • 1–2 ounce equivalent servings of bread/grain

  • ½ cup serving of fruit

  • ½ cup serving of 100% juice

  • Milk

Offer vs. serve at breakfast requires students to take three of the four items offered, including at least 1/2 cup of fruit and/or vegetables.

Example one of a reimbursable breakfast

Whole grain pancakes, ½ cup fruit, and a carton of milk.

Example two of a reimbursable breakfast

Cereal (1 oz container), one piece of toast or one package of graham crackers, one carton of milk, and ½ cup of fruit.

We train our kitchen staff to ensure that each tray holds a reimbursable meal.

Lunch:
At lunch, we offer students five components with each meal. We require students to take three of those five components, including 1/2 cup of fruit and/or vegetables in order for us to count it as a “reimbursable meal”. The components offered are:

  • Meat/meat alternate

  • Bread/grains

  • Fruit/vegetables

  • Milk

Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program

For the 2024–2025 school year, Gannett Peak Elementary and Baldwin Creek Elementary have been awarded the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP) grant. The FFVP provides all enrolled k–5 students with a variety of free fresh fruit and vegetables throughout the school day.

The goal of the FFVP is to:

  • Create healthier school environments by providing healthier food choices.

  • Expand the variety of fruits and vegetables children experience.

  • Increase children’s fruit and vegetable consumption.

  • Make a difference in children’s diets to impact their present and future health.

Please see the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program reference sheet for more details about the program.

Angel Fund

FCSD #1 Food Services maintains an Angel Fund used to support families in our community that need assistance paying for meals for their students. The Angel Fund consists of donations. The Angel Fund does not take the place of applying for free or reduced-price meals. We do not deny any student a meal, regardless of the status of the family’s account balance.

Individuals, groups, or businesses may make donations. The district Food Services Department maintains the Angel Fund, which is distributed on a case-by-case basis.

How to Donate

To make a donation, mail a check, made payable to FCSD #1 Food Services, to:

FCSD #1 Food Service
863 Sweetwater Street
Lander, Wyoming 82520

Or drop a check off at the district office. (Be sure to write "Angel Fund" in the note section).
