National School Lunch Program (NSLP) Civil Rights Notification
Sela Public Charter School participates in the District of Columbia National School Breakfast and Lunch Program (NSLP) and Afterschool Snack Program (ASSP), which follow USDA meal pattern requirements, rules and regulations. The program enhances children’s learning abilities. Studies have shown that children whose nutritional needs are met have fewer attendance and discipline problems are more attentive in class. If a student cannot attend school due to COVID-19, Sela Public Charter School will make meals available for grab and go Monday through Friday during normal school operating hours.
