Federal Register Document (52 pg.- defining the guidelines)

Pg 5 states that the nutritional standards are in effect from midnight before through 30 minutes after the end of the official school day and the School campus means, all areas of the property under the jurisdiction of the school that are accessible to students during the school day.
