Breakfast Program Nonparticipation Review

Utah law requires that local school boards review, at least once every three years, the reasons an elementary school does not participate in the SBP. If the school board determines that there are valid reasons for the school's nonparticipation, no further action is taken. Reasons for nonparticipation may include a recommendation from the school community council or a similar group of parents and school employees that the school not be part of the program. Otherwise, an SBP must be initiated.

After two nonparticipation reviews, a local school board may, by majority vote, waive any further scrutiny of a particular school. A waiver of the review process does not prohibit subsequent reconsideration by the local school board of the school's nonparticipation in the SBP. The requirements of this Utah law will be nullified if the federal government terminates the entitlement status of the SBP.
