GRAHAM ISD

Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act

Below are a few areas of concern for bringing food into the district.

When do competitive foods regulations apply?

Food and/or beverages sold during the school day on the school campus.

• School Day: the period from the midnight before the beginning of the official instructional day to 30 minutes after the end of the official instructional day
• School Campus: all areas of the property under the jurisdiction of the school that are accessible to students during the school day

Fundraisers – 

Schools may have up to six fundraiser (6) days per school year per campus that do not meet the competitive food nutrition standards.

• Food and/or beverages sold during an exempt fundraiser must not be sold in competition with school meals in the food service area during school meal service.
• Concession stands must meet smart snack standards if the sale occurs during the school day.
