The Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) submitted a request to the Mid-Atlantic Regional Office (MARO) for the Child and Adult Care Food Program to waive the congregate feeding requirement in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), the School Breakfast Program (SBP), the Seamless Summer Option (SSO), and the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP). If granted, the waiver allows non-congregate meals to be served in the event of an unanticipated school closure.

Information regarding the approval or denial of these waiver requests will be posted here and will be provided to all sponsors via email once the USDA makes the determination.
