If the charter school has a vendor contract with a restaurant or business for breakfasts, lunches, and/or dinners, what are some contract features to consider?
A8. If the charter school has a USDA school lunch application, then the contract must have very specific elements. If, however, the charter school is contracting on its own for services, contract features might include: cafeteria as classroom, quality of food, assuring fresh produce is on the menu x times per week, inclusion of vegetarian meals at least 1 x week, serving ethnic foods that coordinate with the curriculum, serving meals such as picnics, banquets, etiquette luncheons, teas, historically-accurate meals of a particular period of history. Invite students to grow herbs and have them used in meals, integrating other ways of linking food/meals with curriculum.
