This report provides public health officials and other school stakeholders with an overview of legal and practical considerations impacting federal school nutrition programs by: examining the federal legal framework governing federal school nutrition programs and how this framework impacts schools' practices of obtaining food for these programs; illustrating how legal and practical considerations in one state, Minnesota, interact with federal legal requirements and practical considerations in the operation of federal school nutrition programs in the state; and highlighting innovative practices school nutrition programs may adopt to obtain nutritious school food, while following federal and state legal requirements. This report focuses on key legal and practical issues most relevant to schools seeking to serve nutritious school food. While it may not provide an exhaustive legal analysis of all laws (state or federal) impacting school nutrition programs, relevant examples and case studies from other states are incorporated whenever appropriate.
Federal school nutrition programs are increasingly seen as a critical component in national efforts to reduce childhood obesity. At the same time, school officials are faced with a complex system of legal requirements and practical challenges to getting nutritious food on children's trays.
