Milk Substitutions in School Meals
School Nutrition programs can not substitute juice for milk due to USDA regulations. We are required to provide a nutritional equivalent to milk. This change in requirements helps ensure that students receive adequate calcium and other key nutrients in milk. In order to comply with this requirement, we offer lactose free milk to students who cannot digest milk. This milk will be substituted free of charge if for diet reasons, your child cannot consume milk. Please contact Becky Terry at bterry@deforestschools.org or 842-6511 if you need to make this substitution.
