Are schools required to provide lunch/breakfast?
Participation in the USDA breakfast and lunch programs is voluntary. All public elementary and middle schools in Virginia participate in the National School Lunch Program; all public high schools also participate, with the exception of high schools in Hanover, Chesterfield, Prince George, Colonial Heights and Henrico, although Henrico high schools will join the program in 2007-2008. More than 90% of the schools that participate in the NSLP also participate in the USDA School Breakfast Program.
