What are the guidelines for afterschool snack programs?
Schools only receive a maximum of 71 cents for the snack and must pay food, labor, and overhead from that funding. Only those schools that have 50% or greater free/reduced in the attendance zone can apply to participate in the after school snack program. It is not available to those with less. This does mean that a school that has children attending after school from other schools in that district could possibly qualify even if the particular school holding the after school program might not. Only those schools that qualify to participate in an after school snack program may participate. This has no bearing on the 21st Century program and 21st Century programs have no bearing on CNP where they cannot co-exist. There are many after school snack programs that do not include 21st Century.
