OPERATIONS 8500 FOOD SERVICES
8500 FOOD SERVICES The Board of Education recognizes the midday meal as an important part of each pupil's school day. The Superintendent shall ensure a wholesome, nutritious food services program in the district and one which reinforces the concepts of nutrition education as taught in the classrooms of this district. The Board shall provide food service facilities for the consumption of food on school premises. All pupils not expressly excused by the Principal shall be expected to remain at school for lunch. The operation and supervision of the food services program shall be the responsibility of the School Business Administrator. The management of the food services program will be performed by a Food Service Management Company (FSMC). The FSMC will also be responsible for supplying all personnel to staff the district’s kitchens and to follow all federal and state guidelines and laws which affect the food service program. The district shall participate in the Federal Child Nutrition Program. The Food Service Program shall be operated on a nonprofit basis. All moneys derived from the operation, maintenance, or sponsorship of the food service facilities shall be deposited in the Food Service Account. The net cash resources of the food service account may not exceed three months' operating cost. A periodic review of the food service account shall be made by the Business Administrator. Any surplus funds shall be used to reduce the cost of the service to pupils or to purchase cafeteria equipment. The Superintendent shall ensure the maintenance of sanitary, neat premises, free from fire and health hazards, for the preparation and consumption of food and the safekeeping and storage of food and food equipment in strict compliance with regulations of the New Jersey State Department of Health. Students who do not qualify for a free or reduced lunch and who do not bring a lunch or lunch money to purchase a lunch will be allowed to charge a reimbursable meal. The student will be told by kitchen staff that the meal must be paid as soon as possible. The staff will maintain a record of who has charged a lunch. Following the third time of charging with no reimbursement received, the student’s name and the amount due will be forwarded to the Building Principal. The Principal will contact the parents to inform them of the amount due to the Cafeteria. The Cafeteria staff will inform the Principal of any payments received. ©

OPERATIONS 8506 SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM BIOSECURITY PLAN (M)
8506 SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM BIOSECURITY PLAN (M) The Board of Education is committed to protecting the health of the children and adults in school buildings by strengthening the safety of foodservice operations. Therefore, the Board requires the creation and implementation of a School Lunch Program Biosecurity Plan that will keep school meals free from intentional contamination and enable the foodservice to respond to threats or incidents of bioterrorism. The School Lunch Program Biosecurity Plan shall be a document that spells out school lunch program policies and procedures that minimize the risk of intentional contamination of food and reduce the risk of illness or death in the school community. The Plan shall describe strategies for preventing threats and incidents of product tampering and food contamination. The Plan shall also include appropriate response actions to be taken should an incident occur. There may be a general Plan for all the schools in the district; however, the Plan will address the specific roles and responsibilities for individual schools or locations where food is served. The School Lunch Program Biosecurity Plan shall be prepared, revised, and updated in accordance with the requirements of N.J.A.C. 2:36-1.13 - Biosecurity for School Food Service and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, “A Biosecurity Checklist for School Food Service Programs,” March 2004 version, as amended and supplemented, as New Jersey’s Biosecurity Policy for Child Nutrition Programs.
