Bulletin One 2012 2013 Final.pdf - Fort Worth ISD

Competitive Foods
High schools may not serve nor provide access to competitive foods during meal periods in areas
where reimbursable meals are served and/or consumed. All competitive foods sold or provided to the
students must meet the nutritional standards. The ―food service area‖ at a school is defined as any
area on school premises where program meals are both served and or eaten, including hallways,
outdoor commons, etc. ―Meal periods‖ are defined to include both the time of serving and the time
the student spends eating the meal.
Please refer to the ―What I Need to Know About School Nutrition‖ manual for all food service and
catering needs.
The Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) administers the National School Lunch Program, School
Breakfast Program and After School Snack Program and will aggressively enforce and diligently
monitor the Texas School Nutrition Policy to ensure compliance. When violations of this policy are
noted, TDA will disallow all meal reimbursement for the day and assess fines up to one week’s
reimbursement. Fines will require the school to reimburse the food service account for the lost
reimbursement from a source other than the school food service account, and a corrective action plan
will be initiated and monitored to ensure compliance.
6.11 Mobile Vending Vehicles
The city of Fort Worth Code of Ordinances prohibits the sale or offering to sell from any mobile
vending vehicle of any ice cream, frozen desserts, or other edible substances within two (2)
blocks of any school, or on any park or other municipal recreation facility, or directly in front
of any commercially or industrially zoned property.

compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). See applicable excerpts from

is readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities. The District is not, however,
required to make each existing facility or every part of a facility accessible to and usable by
individuals with disabilities.
