EF Food Service

Code: EF

FOOD SERVICES

The school lunch program is an integral part of the total school program and will be governed by the same controls as any other division of the school program. 

The superintendent shall be in overall charge of the program for the District.  Each building principal shall be responsible for the general conduct and control of students using the cafeteria.  The Lunch Program Coordinator/Business Manager will be responsible for fiscal operation of the program as well as for state and federal accounting and reporting. 

The food service 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 state and federal requirements necessary for participation in the National School Lunch Program.  

A Type A lunch will be available to students.  Free or reduced priced lunches will be available to those students who cannot afford to pay the price of a Type A lunch.  Students will also be permitted to bring their lunches from home and to purchase beverages to supplement home-prepared lunches. 

Receipts from the food services program will be used only to pay regular food services operating costs.  When food services facilities are used by outside or community organizations, a fee approved by the Board will be charged to cover costs.  If facilities are used by groups, no supplies provided for the regular school lunch program or USDA commodities will be used.
