The district is conducting an all-day cloistered training for staff or participants. Can grant funds be used to pay for lunches?
Payment for lunches is allowable only under certain limited circumstances. If the training is such that it is impractical for staff to obtain lunch on their own, or where continued attendance is essential to accomplish the objectives of the training, providing a light meal (for example, a reasonably priced box lunch, pizza, etc.) is allowable. Documentation that demonstrates the necessity of such meals must be maintained for audit and monitoring purposes.
