The food services program provided by the school district is designed to provide wholesome and
appetizing school meals to district students. School meals contribute to good nutrition, which is
vital to mental and physical growth during the formative years. As such, the food services
program operates as an integral part of the total school program.
Program leadership, direction and supervision at all levels are the responsibilities of a trained
staff. The superintendent, in cooperation with the director of food services, is charged with
administering the total program, implementing Board policy as it pertains to school food services
and making recommendations pertaining to the program and food services personnel to the Board.
Food services personnel in the schools will be directly responsible to the director of food services
in the district and the building principal.
The principal of each school shall administer the program in the particular school, and shall
maintain discipline in the cafeteria or lunchroom. In addition, the principal will require
correlation between the district's health instruction and the food services program.
The school food services program will be operated on a non-profit basis, and will comply with all
rules and regulations pertaining to health, sanitation, internal accounting procedures and service
of foods. The district will meet all state and federal requirements necessary for participation in
state and federal meal programs. All school food services receipts must flow through the district
chart of accounts and be used only to pay allowable food services costs, in accordance with law.
Any sale of food and beverages to students during school hours will be under the supervision of
the school food services department or building principal.
Meal prices shall be established annually by the Board of Education.
When food services facilities are used by outside agencies, an adequate fee approved by the Board
will be charged. If facilities are used for other than the regular program, the manager will ensure
that no supplies provided for the regular program or USDA commodities are used.
