A private school in Union City, New Jersey, has paid the federal government $469,000 to settle charges that it billed the National School Lunch Program for meals it never served. Mesivta Sanz, a nonprofit corporation that runs the school, allegedly submitted false information to the Dept. of Agriculture, claiming that meals were served on days on which no classes were in session.
Newsday ran a story on the settlement on June 9, 2006.
