4. Beef that is purchased can be fresh or further prepared.

5. Beef may only be used for Family & Consumer Sciences curriculum and if applicable, in conjunction with Agriculture classroom curriculum.

6. Funds can only be used in the classroom/lab setting. Funds cannot be used for school BBQ’s or other school functions.
