Nutritional Information and Special Diets
Special Diets
Special Diets are provided to students with a disability or medical condition that limits a major life activity such as breathing or learning; or to students with severe or life-threatening food allergies.
A current LAUSD Medical Statement to Request a Special Diet must be completed and signed by Medical Authority. This form must be completed in its entirety and returned to school cafeteria. The Food Services Manager will complete their section of the form, ensure it is complete and then submit it to the Nutrition Specialist for assessment and/or completion. This form must be updated annually.
Unfortunately, LAUSD is unable to accommodate special diets based on personal preferences or religious convictions.
