This is a Site Report and Claim for Reimbursement submitted by the Saugus School Committee to the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education for the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and Special Milk Program for October 2025. The document provides meal service data across four school sites: Belmonte STEAM Academy, Saugus High School, Saugus Middle School, and Veterans Early Learning Center, collectively serving 2,640 students across 22 operating days. During the reporting period, the schools served 37,522 total lunches (29,830 free, 7,692 reduced-price), 12,563 total breakfasts (9,868 free, 2,695 reduced-price), and 4,720 after-school snacks at Belmonte STEAM Academy. The claim, reviewed and certified as accurate by Pola Andrews on November 4, 2025, documents the operational status of all four sites as "DONE" under Community Eligibility Provision (Provision 4) classifications. The total reimbursement amount claimed is $174,819.82, with an adjustment credit of $(2,813.56), resulting from meals served under state and federal reimbursement formulas for free, reduced-price, and paid meal categories.

The claim reflects cost-reimbursable meal operations where the School Food Authority seeks reimbursement from state and federal sources for meals provided to eligible student populations. Individual site reimbursements range from $28,273.76 at Saugus Middle School to $59,040.85 at Saugus High School, with corresponding adjustment credits applied based on rounding variations in the reimbursement calculations. All four schools operated under Community Eligibility Provision status, indicating that meals were provided at no charge to all students regardless of household income level. The document serves as the official monthly claim submission substantiating meal counts and associated reimbursement amounts due under the National School Lunch, Breakfast, Milk, and Snacks Programs administered through the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.
