How does an afterschool care program site qualify as area eligible?
For the NSLP and CACFP, an afterschool care program site qualifies as area eligible if it is located in the attendance area of a school (i.e., elementary, middle or high school) which has at least 50 percent of its enrollment eligible for free or reduced-price meals. For example, if a high school with less than 50 percent free or reduced-price school enrollment is located in the attendance area of a middle school that has 50 percent or more of the enrolled children eligible for free or reduced-price meals, then the high school s afterschool care program would be area eligible.
