Why cant the milk be substituted?
Milk is a required component in the National School Lunch Program. Milk contributes important nutrients such as protein, calcium, riboflavin, Vitamin A, Vitamin D and protein. No other food or beverage can be substituted for the milk. For students who can not drink milk due to milk allergies or other medical conditions, a medical slip from a medical authority is required with a list of approved substitutes such as 100% fruit juice.
