Student Meal Charge Policy

The Roseland School District offers free meals (breakfast and lunch) to all enrolled students under the California Universal Meals Program and the Community Eligibility Program (CEP). Regardless of a student’s eligibility status, each student can receive breakfast and lunch each school day at no cost.

A meal includes the choice of entrée, fruit, vegetable and milk. In addition to the free meals offered, students may purchase a second milk or a second meal. The Cafeteria records payments received through the Point-of-Sale system and tracks meals purchased to each student. Students must bring cash or have money on their student account to purchase second meals or extra milk. Meal charges into the negative are not permitted.

At the beginning of the school year, parents/guardians shall be notified in writing of the district's meal payment policies by posting this policy on the district’s website. All Food Service staff shall also be trained on this policy.
