Civil Rights Forms
USDA requires any program receiving federal financial assistance to provide training to its staff on civil rights. Civil rights regulations are intended to assure that benefits of the Child Nutrition Programs (CNP) are made available to all eligible persons. Training is required so people involved in all levels of program administration understand civil rights related laws, regulations, procedures, and directives (SCN- Civil Rights Requirements, Indiana Department of Education).

Special Needs and Food Allergies
Important to Know
The USDA regulations for school nutrition programs require that all meals served to children must comply with the meal patterns and dietary specifications (nutrition standards). SFAs are encouraged to follow the
meal pattern to the greatest extent possible. However, food substitutions and other reasonable modifications to the meal patterns may be necessary to meet the dietary needs of children who:
• qualify as having a disability under any of the federal nondiscrimination laws;
• are eligible for special education under IDEA; or
• do not qualify as having a disability under any of the federal nondiscrimination laws but have other
special dietary needs.
Examples of possible modifications include food restrictions, substitutions, texture changes (pureed, ground, chopped, or thickened liquids), increased or decreased calories, and tube feedings. Modifications to the meal
service may also involve ensuring facilities and personnel are adequate to provide necessary services.
For more information, review the Meal Modification Requirements.
A Child Nutrition (CN) label or a Product Formulation Statement (PFS) provide meal pattern contribution information for commercially prepared, combination food items. CN labels are available only for main dish entrees that contribute to the meat/meat alternate component of the meal pattern.
Some commercially prepared, combination foods may not have a CN label. This is because the CN labeling is a voluntary program. If a commercially prepared, combination food item does not have a CN label, contact the manufacturer for a PFS. If a food item does not have a CN label or PFS, the food item will not be creditable in Child Nutrition Programs.
