60-Day Agency Response

District continues to track the majority of non program foods costs and revenue for the 2013-14 school year. For a small number of items, the District is working to find a true nonprogram cost as the items are not sold solely as nonprogram foods but are comingled into total food costs. Once tracking is complete for the 2013-14 school year, the District will utilize the Nonprogram Food Tool, provided by USDA, to determine whether the revenues from the sale of nonprogram foods cover the cost of those same foods.
