A bill to allow schools the option of maximizing the usefulness of the "Commodity Only School" program.

Summary

Amends the National School Lunch Act to provide that commodity only schools are those schools which do not participate in the school lunch program but enter into an agreement to receive donated commodities for a nonprofit lunch program. Makes such schools eligible for special cash assistance under such Act, and ineligible for the special milk program authorized by the Child Nutrition Act of 1966.
