On April 26, 2013, the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education issued a new Memorandum entitled, "Access to School Meals in Publicly Funded Out-of-District Programs"
The memo reminds Districts that they are responsible to offer school lunch to all students, including students who are enrolled in out-of-district at public expense. Further, Districts must provide qualifying out-of-district students with free or reduced breakfast and/or lunch.
If you have a child in an out-of-district placement and have questions about equal access to school meals, or any other questions about your child's IEP rights, contact the special education lawyers at Wong & Boscarine.
