The question was actually directed at PiT's recommendation for cooking food on site.

     We're looking roughly at $20/hour per head for labor averaged through the kitchen and $5/student meal, along with overhead of around $1,000/day. I'd guess you need 1 dishwasher for every 60 students, 1 prep chef for every 100, 3 line cooks, a sous chef, and a head chef. These numbers are very ballpark, but are based on my experience in kitchenwork.
 
     Supposing 250 students (a typical size for an elementary school, though there is variation at all levels), we'd be looking at $2,530/day.

EDIT: I miscalculated on the labor costs. It's actually going to be $4,490/day.

The costs of preparing food onsite is too high, considering I don't approve of raising food prices in schools.

     I guess that's why we don't do it already. Tongue

Should we put some sort of funding provision in this to make it affordable for schools?

Do you have any recommendations for a better wording or clarification of the point?

     Limit caloric content in school meals? It is the most direct link to weight gain.

Why are we changing the on school property part? Schools shouldn't have vending machines which just sell sweets

My objective is to make sure that ambiguity doesn't serve to cause bake sales to be banned by fearful LEA's, whose primary responsibility would be to preserve the money flow and not lose the funding. I am sure we can find a way to preserve the restrictions for vending machines though.

The main reason for removing the "on school property" was because I would prefer to not say "none shall be allowed" then proceed with a sentence that lists an exception to said firm prohibition.

Well if we just strike the lunch and breakfast line then it will stop vending machines and lunches and breakfasts but not bake sales

     I was wondering if it were some sort of antiquated term. Tongue
