Yes, the Budgeting Costs Guidance Handbook lists the following allowable foods costs for parents and/or students.
The following costs are allowable:
  •   Nutritional snacks for students during extended day (after-school) programs
  •   Nutritional snacks for children in child care while parents are participating in grant activities
  •   Food necessary to conduct nutrition education programs for parents
  •   Parent involvement activities in which refreshments are necessary to encourage participation or attendance by parents, such as in low-income areas, and thus meet program objectives.
  • Note: Full meals for parents or students are unallowable for these purposes under any circumstances. Expenditures must be reasonable in cost, necessary to accomplish program objectives, and an integral part of the instructional program.

Yes, the state defines this expense to be an activity that falls under the following statute;
P.L. 114-95, Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), Title III, Part A Section 3115 (c)(3)
To provide and implement other effective activities and strategies that enhance or supplement language instruction educational programs for English learners, which (A) shall include parent, family, and community engagement activities; and (B) may include strategies that serve to coordinate and align related programs
Note: Since Title III, Part A funds are supplemental to local and other federal funds, LEAs need to reference their policies to see if funds have already been designated for this type of activity.
