• National School Lunch (NSL) regulations will change next year. NSL Regs will require that all colored milk sold by a school be fat free and that white milk be no more than 1% in fat content. The Committee was asked if it would be acceptable to implement the new milk regulations this year. There were no objections to implementing the changes this year.
