SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
Approve the Agreement to Provide Meals for Selected Charter School Sites (Student Services and Federal Programs Division)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Student Nutrition Services (SNS) has been asked to provide meal service to Tampa Bay Academy Charter School (Tampa Bay Academy) for the 2010/2011 school year under the district's sponsorship of the National School Lunch Program.

The agreement shall be in effect retroactively from January 24, 2011 through June 10, 2011, due to the food management company's inability to complete their meal service contract with Tampa Bay Academy.   SNS was asked to provide meals for the students prior to a contract agreement being signed and approved.  Under this agreement, SNS is responsible for approving free and reduced price meal applications, furnishing food and supplies for meal service, and providing technical assistance.  Tampa Bay Academy is responsible for adhering to meal accountability procedures, serving the correct menu items, and maintaining a clean and safe environment for the service of food.  The meals served in charter schools are included as part of the SNS monthly federal reimbursement claim.  The charter school will be invoiced monthly for student "full pay" meals, adult meals, emergency meals, and any other meals that cannot be claimed as free or reduced priced.

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
• Demonstrate "best practices" in all aspects of safety including students, employees, visitors, facilities, transportation, and health
FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted:  Yes)
Revenue gained will cover expenses to result in a break-even status.
