Proposed amendments to the rules governing School Food Service (23 Ill. Adm. Code 305) were recently reviewed by the State Board of Education and are currently available for public comment. This set of amendments responds to recommendations set forth in the report of the School Wellness Task Force. The proposed requirements continue to apply only to participants in the federal school meals programs that serve students in grades 8 and below (i.e., the requirements will not apply to high schools).
