SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
Approve the Charter School Food Service Agreement for Selected Charter School Sites (Academic Support and Federal Programs Division)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Student Nutrition Services (SNS) has been asked to provide meal service to the following charter schools for the 2015/2016 school year under the district’s sponsorship of the National School Lunch Program:

  • Florida Autism Center of Excellence Charter School (attachment 1)
  • New Springs Schools (attachment 2)

The agreement will be in effect from August 25, 2015, through June 10, 2016. Under the agreement, SNS is responsible for approving free and reduced price meal applications, furnishing food and supplies for meal service, and providing technical assistance. The charter schools are responsible for adhering to meal accountability procedures, serving correct menu items, and maintaining a clean and safe environment for the service of food.

The meals served in charter schools will be included as part of the SNS monthly federal reimbursement claim. The charter schools will be invoiced for student “full pay” meals, adult meals, emergency meals, any other meals that cannot be claimed as free or reduced price, and delivery charges if applicable.

The term of this contract is August 25, 2015, through June 10, 2016. The signed contracts were received by Student Nutrition Services on August 17, 2015, which results in requesting Board approval after-the-fact.
