W. Va. Code R. § 126-85-82

Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 50, December 13, 2024

Section 126-85-82 - Pricing of Adult Meals

82.1. Meals served to teachers, administrators, custodians and other adults, such as school patrons, elderly volunteers and Foster Grandparents Program participants, must be priced so that the adult payments in combination with income from other sources (such as state or local fringe benefits or payroll funds, or funding from voluntary agencies) are sufficient to cover the meal costs. The charge for adult meals is determined by the county board of education and approved by the WVDE in the Agreement between SFA and SA. It is recommended that the charge(s) be established at or near the county per meal costs. Adult meals are not reimbursable nor counted in the commodity allocation entitlement.

82.2. Meals served to adults who are directly involved in the operation and administration of child nutrition programs may, at the discretion of the SFA, be furnished at no charge. As such, their cost may be fully attributed to the nonprofit child nutrition program operation and supported by revenues to the child nutrition program. These meals should be shown as program adult meals, column 6 or 12 on form WVDE-ADM-29. School employees who supervise during the lunch or breakfast periods, sell tickets or perform other duties directly related to the food program should do so on a contract basis as described in W.Va. Code §§ 18A-4-14 and 16.

82.3. Meals served to adults not directly involved in the child nutrition program such as administrators, teachers, aides, student teachers and other persons working or visiting in the school may not be served free of charge unless the cost of the meal is reimbursed to the program from another funding source. These meals must be reported as non-program adult meals.

82.4. Student teachers and other persons working in the schools who are not enrolled in the educational program of the SFA are not eligible for free or reduced price meals. They must pay the same price as adults unless the cost is paid by another agency.
