Are local educational agencies (LEAs) permitted to use cafeteria funds “for any educational purpose” under Section 15 of SBX3 4?
No. There are two types of flexibility in SBX3 4: flexibility with current appropriations (Section 15) and flexibility with June 30, 2008 restricted account balances (Section 42). Section 15 exempted the transfer of child nutrition (cafeteria) funds from this flexibility provision. For a discussion of Section 42, see below.
