Special Diets & Accommodations


Does your child have a food allergy, food intolerance, or meal accommodation need? LUSD Nutrition Services cares about providing food to all students. With the help from our School Nurses and Nutrition Specialists, our Nutrition Services department takes pride in providing necessary accommodations and choices for students. 

How do I start my child on a special diet?

Nutrition Services is happy to work with students who need meal substitutions on a case-by-case basis. Parent/guardian requests must be supported by a written medical statement from a state licensed healthcare professional. Medical Statements can be retrieved directly from School Cafeteria Managers, School Nurses, the Nutrition Services office, or downloaded right here.

What if my child does not have a disability but I still want to request a diet accommodation due to religious, philosophical, or ethical reasons?

Nutrition Services offers a variety of meal choices, including vegetarian options, in order to accommodate student preferences. At this time the CDE only honors non-disability requests for fluid milk substitutions. Further information about fluid milk substitutions can be found on the CDE website: Final Rule: Fluid Milk Substitutions. The request form can be downloaded here:
