2.1. The mission of the Office of Child Nutrition is to enhance learning and quality of life through nutrition education and nutrition services.

The primary purpose of the food service program is to provide the opportunity to meet each participant's nutritional needs, the child in school, the child in institutional surroundings, the special needs child; the child in day care and the functionally impaired adult in day care. An effective nutrition program makes available to all participants a nutritionally adequate, affordable breakfast and lunch that support health and learning. Snacks are added as needed for the participants.

served as a unit. Any other food or beverage served at any time during the day

calories in order to contribute to the nutritional quality of the meals
served.

foods, namely candy, soft drinks, chewing gum and flavored ice bars, shall not
be sold during the school day (i.e., that period of time between the arrival of
the first child at school and the end of the last scheduled instructional
period) except that, county boards may permit the sale of soft drinks in county
high schools except during breakfast and lunch periods. The sale of such soft
drinks shall be in compliance with the rules of the National School Lunch
Program and the School Breakfast Program of the State Board and the Food and
Nutrition Service (FNS) of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).
Seventy-five percent of the profits from the sale of soft drinks shall be
allocated by a majority vote of the faculty senate of each school and
