Can sites qualify for participation using data other than the school’s percentage of eligible free and reduced-price enrollment?
With CDE approval, the PSD/COE may use data from feeder schools or the majority of nearby schools. Census block group data, as approved by CDE, may also be used. The United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) must approve the use of data from other sources, such as local departments of social services and zoning commissions.
