Perry County School Nutrition is an active participant in the National School Breakfast and Lunch Programs. These are federally assisted child feeding programs sponsored by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) that provide free or reduced meals to our students whose families meet the criteria.
Food safety is a top priority in the Perry County School Nutrition Department. Our employees are trained to make sure all HACCP procedures are followed. The Perry County Health Department also conducts two inspections each year at each school. The entire staff takes part in numerous hours of in-service each year and food safety is a big part of the training.
The School Nutrition Program operates fiscally independent with the district, paying for all direct expenses. The program is supported by revenue generated from sales made within our cafeteria as well as receiving federal and state funds based on our meal participation. This department does not receive any local tax dollars.
The School Breakfast Program is available to all students every weekday morning. Students are offered meals that include servings of fruit, whole grain rich items, and low fat or fat free milk. Our breakfast meals are well balanced and follow standards backed by the best nutritional science available. Participation in the program also affords children a chance to enjoy a morning meal with their friends. We look forward to serving your children!
