701.1 School Food Program

The District will operate a school lunch and breakfast program in each attendance center. The school food program services will include hot lunches through participation in the National School Lunch Program and supplementary foods for students during the school day. Students may participate in the school lunch program or may bring their lunches from home and purchase milk and other incidental items at the school.

School food service facilities are provided to serve students and employees when school is in session and during school-related activities. They may also be used under the supervision of the Food Service Director for food service to employee groups, parent-teacher meetings, civic organizations meeting for the purpose of better understanding the schools, and senior citizens in accordance with Board policy.

The school food program is operated on a non-profit basis. The revenues of the school food program will be used only for paying the regular operating costs of the school food program. Supplies of the school food program will only be used for the school food program.

The Board will set, and periodically review, the prices for school lunches, breakfasts, and milk. It is the responsibility of the superintendent to make a recommendation regarding the prices of school lunches, breakfasts, and milk.

It is the responsibility of the Food Service Director to administer the program and to cooperate with the Superintendent for the proper functioning of the school food program.
