MINUTES ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH May 23, 2018 S:\Managers Working Files\BOH\Agenda & Abstracts\2018 Agenda & Abstracts/ May Page 2 Valerie Green, Director of Orange County Schools (OCS) Child Nutrition Services informed the Board on the program. Below are highlights. • There are 13 schools with 12 child nutrition managers. Breakfast is taken to one school with those students walking over for lunch. • Approximately 1,700 breakfasts and 3,115 lunches are served daily. • Child Nutrition Services (CNS) must maintain a non-prof it food service and observe the limitation on food service revenues in 7 CFR 210.14(a). They are responsible for their own budget. The costs are $3.31 per meal, $2.09 per breakfast and $0.88 per snack. • CNS’s revenues must cover the cost of food and supplies, staff salaries and benefits, equipment and other departmental expenses. They also pay negative meal balances. • Their financial needs are met by cooperative purchasing, receiving grants, assessing menu costing with new products and controlling labor, equipment and food costs. • The OCS employs a trained chef, has Tryday Friday in which new foods are introduced and are looking to do an afterschool snack service that would distribute snacks around 4 or 5pm. There are also grab and go kiosks that allow students to grab breakfast and go to their classes versus going to the cafeteria. • CNS programs include the Universal Free Breakfast Program for prekindergarten through 5th grade and Summer Food Service Program which operates from June through August. • New ideas include introducing a concept of a later breakfast for high schoolers and offering both hot and cold items in breakfast programs. • CNS will continue to offer additional healthy lunch options for middle and high schools and continue to work with local government and agencies to procure local growers produce. • Community support is crucial. CNS currently engages with local restaurants and churches. The BOH had questions that were addressed by Ms. Green. B.
