Is there a website map that shows each region, county and states tier levels or do we just have to take the consultant of the week's word for it?

Originally posted by daycarediva View PostNo idea on the map... BUT I was told it went by your school districts poverty levels. 80% free lunch would be Tier1.
When we moved I had to reduce rates (high income to mid income areas) but the change from tier 2 to 1 more than compensated for it.- Unless otherwise stated, all my posts are personal opinion and worth what you paid for them.

I would definitely stay on this because I think you should qualify for Tier 1.
Good luck!

Thank you, BC.The new regs make me post a menu and times, keep on file for 6 months, eat the same food within arms length, have seconds of everything on the table and require the unannounced inspector to look over all menus and witness meals, jut like the food program.
I figured maybe it was time to get paid more for it.
I looked around a bit more and it looks like they are including the percentages from the four private/boarding schools here.There is no way our families could afford those schools. Most are from out of country. :confused: I am shocked they knock our stats down to 63% for the district.
Can that be right? I thought only public schools count.

I don't know much about private schools and their impact in the process but I would think they are not included unless they participate in CACFP too. But I have no idea.
Hopefully there is contact info somewhere in the links where you can call and find out for sure.

Food sponsor may be incorrect.
If there is another sponsor in your area for the childcare food program, I would call them and ask the question. My sponsor believes it's public school data only. If you want to take it further, contact the USDA. Their criteria should be consistent amongst states as it's a federal agency. I definitely would pursue this as it's a large difference!
