10/25/2015 4 What is Offer Versus Serve? Offer Versus Serve (or OVS) is a concept that applies to Child Nutrition menu planning and to the determination of reimbursable school meals. OVS allows students to decline some of the food offered in a school lunch or breakfast. VIDEO

10/25/2015 5 Who, When, and Where OVS is: –Required at senior high schools. –Optional at lower grade levels. –Optional at breakfast in all grades. Who decides? –School Food Authority decides: Whether to implement OVS when optional and in what grades. Whether students below high school can decline 1 or 2 food items at lunch. –Students decide what foods to decline.

OVS Reimbursable Lunches Students must: select the minimum number of items required (at least 3 of 5 for senior high; 3, 4 or 5 for lower grades). take full serving to count toward a reimbursable meal. Students may: decline any food item, including entrée or milk. take smaller portions of declined food items (does not affect price). 10/25/2015 7

8 OVS Reimbursable Lunches Note: If a student chooses not to select at least three of the food components, then the lunch is not reimbursable and the student must pay according to a la carte pricing. Every effort should be made at the point of service to encourage the student to take an additional component. Staff counting and claiming must be trained to recognize meal components to include those in combination foods.
