The School District of Lee County will be participating in the Summer Food Service
Program for the period of June 15 through August 7, 2015.
Nutritionally balanced meals will be provided to all children regardless of race, color, sex,

lunches are not available. All children 18 years old or younger, if open site, are eligible
for meals at no charge and there will be no discrimination in the course of the meal
service. These programs are only approved for geographical areas of need where 50

year.

prohibited from discriminating on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age or
