Paid Lunch Equity (PLE)
NEW THIS YEAR!
Any SFA with a positive or zero balance in its nonprofit school food service account as of December 31, 2019, is exempt from PLE requirements found at 7 CFR 210.14(e) for school year (SY) 2020-21. For these SFAs, completion of the survey is the record DPI needs to exempt your SFA from completing the PLE Tool.
Any pricing SFA with a negative balance in the nonprofit school food service account as of December 31, 2019, must complete the survey and the PLE tool for the SY 2020-21 to establish prices for paid lunches for SY 2020-21. The PLE tool must then be uploaded to the 2020-21 contract.
