Medical Statement for Children with Special
Dietary Needs
Texas Department of Agriculture -Child Nutrition Guidelines
"Each special dietary request must be supported by a statement that explains
the food substitution that is requested. It must be signed by a recognized
medical authority. In these cases, recognized medical authorities may include
physicians, physician assistants, or advance practice nurse (Nurse Practioners).
The medical statement must include:
*an identification of the medical or other special dietary condition that
restricts the child's diet;
*the food or foods to be omitted from the child's diet; and the food or choice
of foods to be substituted.
The medical statement will be kept on file during the time frame the student is in school in the cafeteria and at the main food service office. A medical statement is required for special diet request and must be updated when moving from elementary school to middle school and middle school to high school if the school cafeteria is to assist with special diets."
Please contact your cafeteria manager if you need assistance with special
dietary needs. We can work to make limited substitutions with other food items
we have on hand to assist special diet requests. Parents will need to mark
menus for their children with special dietary needs. The cafeteria managers
will follow these during the year.
