Recognizing the importance of efficient and effective program administration for the success of Utah's Child Nutrition Programs, the State Office of Education developed a manual to assist local program administrators in using the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA's) programs. This document contains Part 1 of the manual's four interrelated parts, a quick reference organized alphabetically by key words, and restates federal regulations and related policy information. The document also provides an overview of the National School Lunch, School Breakfast, and Special Milk programs. Included is information on eligibility, meal requirements, meal accountability, meal service, record keeping, claims and reimbursement, and civil rights compliance. (KB)
