Diet Prescription for Meals at School
Children with Special Dietary Needs
If a student has special dietary needs a “Diet Prescription for Meals at School” form must be completed by a physician. The form must be completed annually, and turned into the nurse at the student’s school.
If special dietary needs are no longer needed or require modification a new “Diet Prescription for Meals at School” form must be completed by a physician. Only a physician may change or modify an existing “Diet Prescription for Meals at School” form.
Milk Substitution Rule
Per the “USDA Rule on Fluid Milk Substitutes for School Nutrition Programs”, Oxford City Schools does not offer a milk substitution for students with medical or special dietary needs at this time.
