The Lake-Lehman School District
announces a change in the 1985-86
Free and Reduced Price Meal and
Free Milk Policy for children
unable to pay the full price.
Children of parents and guardians
who are unemployed, or become
unemployed, are eligible for free
and reduced price meals or for free
milk during the period of unemploy-
ment, provided that the period of
unemployment causes your family
income to fall within the eligibility
criteria.
In certain cases foster children
are also eligible for those benefits.
If families have such children and
wish to apply for such meals and
milk, they should contact the school.
They may do so by completing the
application forms sent home in a
letter to parents. Additional copies
are available from the sponsor.
Applications may be submitted
any time during the school year.
The form requests information that
officials need to determine eco-
nomic need based on the income
and number of persons in the
family.
Required information includes:
social security numbers of house-
hold members over 21 years of age,
the signature of the adult responsi-
ble for completing the application,
the names of all household mem-
bers and the income of all household
members.
If the household income increases
or decreases by more than $50 per
month ($600 per year) or when the
household size changes the sponsor
must be notified in order to deter-
mine a change in eligibility.
The information provided on the
application is confidential and will
be used only for the determining of
eligibility. Neither the names nor
the incomes will be released.
The parent must also certify that
all of the information is true and
correct to the best of their knowl-
edge and belief. The application is
made in connection with the receipt
tof federal funds. Deliberate misre-
presentation of the information may
subject the applicant to prosecution
under applicabel state and federal
criminal statutes.
The information on the applica-
tion may be checked by the school
or other officials at anytime during
the school year.
Children who receive free or
reduced price meal benefits are
treated the same as children who
pay for meals. In the operation of
child nutrition programs, no child
will be discriminated against
because of race, sex, color, national
origin, age or handicap. If you
believe you have been discriminated
against, write immediately to the
Secretary of Ariculture, Washing-
ton, D.C. 20250.
Under provisions of the policy, the
Superintendent will review applica-
tions and determine eligibility.
If a parent is dissatisfied with the
ruling of the local official, he or she
may request, orally or in writing,
M. David Preston, Ph.D., Lake--
Lehman School District, Lehman,
PA 18627, 675-2165, for a hearing to
appeal the decision. Hearing proce-
dures are outlined in the policy.
A complete copy of the policy
may be reviewed by any interested
party in the sponsor’s office.
PSU has ice
cream course
Ice cream manufacturers must be
concerned with product quality, con-
sumer acceptance, and economic
costs to realize a profit as well as
maintain the fine reputation the ice
cream industry has devzloped. Ice
cream’s composition, ingredients,
flavor, taste, and appearance make
the difference between success and
failure in marketing. Competition
from novelty frozen desserts,
aggressive advertising from the
foods industry, and modern food
processing innovations must be
understood for successful Process:
ing and marketing.
Dr. Philip G. Keeney of Penn
State University, well-known in the
field of dairy science, authors a
Correspondence Coures 102, Ice
Cream Manufacture, to meet the
needs of small and large ice cream
manufacturers. The course dis-
cusses the composition and ingredi-
ents used in ice cream; modern
equipment, blending, freezing, whip-
ping, and hardening methods; fla-
vors and labeling requirements;
ices and sherbets.
