School Lunch. The Principal shall be responsible for all functions, procedures and personnel involved in the operation of the cafeteria/lunch room. All lunch duty by certificated/licensed teachers shall be voluntary. By April 15 of the preceding school year, teachers must submit in writing to both the Principal and Chapter Chairperson their willingness to volunteer for lunch duty in lieu of a teaching assignment the following school year. If sufficient volunteers are not available to meet the needs of the lunch program, the Principal and the Chapter Chairperson shall determine the fairest and most appropriate solution. No teacher shall be involuntarily assigned lunch duty for two (two) consecutive school years.
School Lunch. Any employee who is eligible under state and federal guidelines for free school lunch will be provided school lunch without charge during the school year.
School Lunch. School lunch workers will be allowed free school lunch as part of their job when working in the lunch program.
School Lunch. K-6 certified staff members will be on duty during student lunch on a rotational basis. Assigned teachers for this activity will receive a free lunch. Other teachers will have a "duty free" lunch period but will deliver their students to the lunchroom and pick up their students from the lunchroom at designated times to be set by the principal. Because of the short length of time involved for lunch, teachers will not be allowed to leave the building without approval by the principal.
School Lunch. When the District has an enrolled student in an out-of-District placement, the District remains responsible for ensuring that lunches are available to the student even if the approved special education school does not participate in the National School Lunch Program. The same principle of access to meals applies if a student with disabilities would have been eligible to participate in a school breakfast program at the school the student would have attended if the student had not been placed out-of- District. Documentation related to free or reduced price meal benefits, including meal benefit applications, must be maintained by the District or approved private special education school claiming meal reimbursement. Approved private special education schools and collaboratives will review the free and reduced lunch student list with the District annually including the availability of meals to students who are publicly funded and placed at their facilities. If a school does not provide access to meals, approved special education school or collaborative leaders must contact the District to discuss arrangements that may be made to meet their mutual responsibility.
School Lunch. The district will collaborate with SPFT to create a policy for ensuring all students have access to lunch, even if they cannot pay. Family Engagement - The district agrees to increase financial investment in Academic Parent Teacher Teams and other alternative models of conferencing that fosters deeper relationships between parents and educators.
