T.O.W. U.F.S.D. SCHOOL LUNCH 2017-2018 BUDGET PRESENTATION So how are we doing?

What are some of the changes? Breakfast is remaining open through the first couple periods of the day Grant funding received for Rooftop Refrigeration Unit-Cooler Convection Oven Budget funding (due to savings in changes made from prior year) Caster wheels for cook line units Rooftop Refrigeration Unit-Freezer Condensing Coils for Walk-in Cooler Even with the above purchases one of the smallest losses since before 2008 Providing Meals for Staff Development Days Staffing Full Time Cook Manager 0.81 Cook 0.1 Cashier * Cafeteria was redone in 2000 during the building project which means we have aging equipment. * We were able to secure a grant for the replacement of the convection oven and walk-in cooler. No time yet for the update of poster, selling.

Current Items Repairs done to kitchen refrigerator Purchase of a Prep. Sandwich cooler to offer a salad bar option every day. Breakfast is only at a 12% participation rate. (39% receive a free/reduced price lunch therefore we are not reaching all these kids.) Lunch is at a 38% participation rate. Although close to our percentage we still do not have enough participation to say we are providing to all the kids that require meals. Field trip offerings With advance notice the cafeteria is trying to provide bag lunches to the students hoping that the free/reduced population is still able to acquire the benefits that they are entitled to.

What are some concerns going forward? Student Participation More participation especially with the Free/Reduced Population Food Allergies Being able to have a bigger variety of food for students/staff with allergies. Many food dishes already gluten free and many dishes have options available to them with prior notice given Equipment Cafeteria was completely redone in the 2000 building project so many items are all starting to need repair/replacements Enrollment & Participation Need to stay on top of participation and continued participation….working with the ‘littles’ * Cafeteria was redone in 2000 during the building project which means we have aging equipment. * We were able to secure a grant for the replacement of the convection oven and walk-in cooler.
