FACILITIES
Purpose
The Board of
Education recognizes that the operation of the school lunch program becomes a
service to parents. The board does not intend to take over the responsibility
that legally and traditionally belongs to parents and the home. The policy of
the board, therefore, is to operate the lunch room as a necessary convenience
and auxiliary service to the educational program. Inasmuch as the lunch room is
operated by the schools, administrators are encouraged to administer the school
lunch program in such a manner as to derive the maximum educational value from
it.
Cafeterias
Cafeterias
are authorized as a non-profit service to pupils, but no pupil may be compelled
to use the cafeteria. The cafeteria program will give major emphasis to serving
a complete and well-balanced lunch to pupils and the district shall cooperate
with the Federal School Lunch Program when this serves the best interest and
welfare of the children.
Lunch
Areas
It shall be
the policy of the board to provide school lunch areas. The lunch areas shall be
comfortable and convenient for eating lunches brought from home.
Lunch
Period
The pupils'
lunch period shall not be less than thirty minutes in length and shall be under
the supervision of at least one
Leaving
School Grounds
Beginning
with the 7th grade and through 11th grade, it shall be the policy of the
district to operate a closed campus.
