Reimbursable Meals

What is a * "Full or Reimbursable Meal?" 
 
At lunch we offer students a minimum of 5 meal components including a meat or meat alternative, grain, vegetable, fruit, and a milk. Students must select at least three items (one being a fruit or vegetable) for the meal to qualify for "free meal status." If a student chooses less than three items or does not have a fruit or vegetable on their tray, we must charge the student a-la-carte pricing according to USDA regulations.
 
Breakfast is very similar but smaller consisting of 4 food items (not components) and students must take three of the four items (one being a fruit or vegetable) in order for the meal to qualify for "free meal status." consists of 3-5 meal components. Student must take a minimum of one (fruit or vegetable) and two additional items.
