Great news that CA opted in!

00:46:19
Ana Grajeda:
sure 

00:46:30
Alexa Norstad:
For those of you operating an At-Risk Supper Program outside of California, are you taking attendance by student name? Or has your state agency allowed you to use a tally count in lieu of student names? What creative ways are you meeting this requirement?

00:46:36
Abby Halperin | Center for Ecoliteracy:
For california districts, have you received the additional $0.75? Has it made a difference? We’re talking with legislators right now about more funding for this school year and it would be great to know how/if the existing funding has helped.

00:46:49
Jamie Anderson:
What if we missed the FFCRA waiver?

00:47:48
Kat Soltanmorad:
Abby- Yes we received it and anything helps. Hopefully Universal Meals is part of the legislative visits for your team.

00:47:48
Suzanne King:
The additional $.75 has made a tremendous difference for my District because the fall in meal sales has meant so much less revenue.

00:48:03
Abby Halperin | Center for Ecoliteracy:
Thanks so much Suzanne! That’s great to hear.

00:48:29
Susan Dalandan:
In PA, we only need a tally. Most of the CACFP programs are with enrolled students in child care, so the majority have names as well. However, we do have a few sites that are open drop in and afterschool at our firehouses (fire safety, police safety, household safety lessons and exercises) and we only need a tally for that.

00:48:51
Mickinzie Lopez | LunchAssist:
Hi Jamie - the FFCRA waiver is just an FYI. Nothing you need to do. CA already opted in. :)

00:48:57
Paloma Perez Bertrand I LunchAssist:
Thank you for sharing, Susan!

00:48:59
Susan Dalandan:
They try to get names at the beginning of the program kick off, but not always possible.

00:49:12
Lisa Buskirk:
Oregon, and we must keep attendance by name.

00:49:29
Amy Hedrick-Farr:
This is amazing news!

00:50:02
Mickinzie Lopez | LunchAssist:
Thank you, Susan! Any other states allowing tally sheets? We would love to share this info with the CA Dpt. Ed.

00:50:05
Abby Halperin | Center for Ecoliteracy:
Thanks @Kat, yes, universal meals is a big priority for us this year!

00:50:41
Mickinzie Lopez | LunchAssist:
Thanks Lisa for letting us know about OR

00:51:22
Alexa Norstad | Center for Ecoliteracy:
If the funding formulas were more favorable for schools that have moderate ISPs, and if there were extra state funding for it, would you consider implementing CEP for the 2021-2022 school year? Why or why not?

00:51:26
Valerie Weivoda:
MS school here operating ASCP...currently using names because we are in normal after school tutoring (with social distancing).

00:51:48
Mickinzie Lopez | LunchAssist:
Good to know, Valerie!

00:52:23
Emma Finn:
GREAT opportunity to incorporate good purchasing values - into your wellness policy!!

Thanks for the plug Jen! Healthier Generation has some great resources to get you on track for the LSWP triennial Assessment: https://www.healthiergeneration.org/

00:55:34
Alexa Norstad | Center for Ecoliteracy:
Has your school reopened? If yes, what protocols are in place to help keep your team safe? If not, what strategies would need to be in place in order for you to feel safe about bringing students back on campus?

00:57:34
Alexa Norstad | Center for Ecoliteracy:
Do you think a national summer school would be beneficial to help students “make up”?

00:58:15
Amy Glodde:
as a parent, yes

00:59:03
Kat Soltanmorad:
@Alexa-Yes, reopened hybrid for a second time Monday this week. We have MERF13 filters in each classroom, building, N95 masks, masks for all including students, gloves as requested, washing hand stations, desk shields, and only in session 4 days a week.. 1 day is deep clean at each campus. Food Services staff have worked every day since March 13 with the public and in the kitchens with colleagues.....

00:59:15
KRisten TEkell:
Napa Valley USD is open! We use social distancing, grab and go meals, and use outdoor spaces when possible to name a few. National Summer school will pose schedule issues with CA union and current schedules for Food Service workers.

01:00:30
Kat Soltanmorad:
@Alexa, especially for special education students who have had the least equitable access to education throughout this pandemic. They are the forgotten group. Summer school would be great for our crew as we always offer Seamless summer and buses for our summer programs. Receiving funding would be ideal.

01:00:58
Regina Salmon:
Yes, we have reopened.  The students are eating outdoors durin

01:02:26
Alexa Norstad | Center for Ecoliteracy:
What do you think the impact of not having salad bars this year will have on farm to school programs?

01:03:16
Suzanne Yamanishi:
We have been packing salads to go out as a full lunch item.

01:04:23
Frances Gonzalez:
@Alexa my district makes single serve veggie boxes and individual packaged salads to get the kids fresh veggies and to continue to order from our local farms

01:04:56
Susan Dalandan:
No,  in our part of PA,some are hybrid, a couple very small districts went in-person from September. But we are in an area of high community transmission. Many teachers are using staying virtual as a bargaining tool for contract negotiations as long as vaccines are not available for teachers. Some of the larger city districts in PA are thinking about moving to some in-person in April. Several tried hybrid before the holidays, but there were too many cases in the schools, especially in the middle and high schools.

01:06:31
Jennifer McNeil:
Mashed potatoes sound delicious right now… just sayin’

01:07:01
Regina Salmon:
Here are some of what we at Fortuna High School District has put in place when we reopened.

01:07:07
Regina Salmon:
Meals will be picked up inside the cafeteria • Meal pick up will be strategically coordinated using staggered release times from classrooms to prevent congestion. • Extended pick up times to allow social distancing. • Markers and floor signage have been placed six feet apart on sidewalks and floors, to ensure students stay apart while waiting to be served. • All entrances and exits are equipped with proper sanitation products, including hand sanitizer and/or sanitizing wipes. • Students are required to sanitize before touching the pin pad on the POS. • Before handling service containers, beverages and utensils, hands will be washed thoroughly and put on food service gloves to avoid any contamination of the containers. Gloves will be worn throughout the service time, changing them when needed. • Facial coverings must be worn at all times by both students and staff. • Staff are 6 foot distanced, behind clear screens as much as possible. • Administration and Cafeteria Staff will be present during serving time.

01:07:24
Mickinzie Lopez | LunchAssist:
Wow, THANK YOU for sharing, Regina!!!

01:08:41
Regina Salmon:
Here is the rest...

01:08:46
Regina Salmon:
Make reasonable efforts to ensure social distancing. • Common surfaces like doors and waiting areas will be disinfected after every meal service. • Meals will be taken outside, or taken home with individually plated or bagged meal.

01:08:48
Valerie Weivoda:
MS, schools are completely opened. My district is 5 days weekly. All students & staff wear masks; extended meal periods for social distancing; alternating those that dine in the classroom or some schools eat completely in classroom. 

01:10:16
Mickinzie Lopez | LunchAssist:
Great ideas, Maureen! We love it all <3

01:10:30
Paloma Perez Bertrand I LunchAssist:
Valerie - are the students in the classroom social distancing as well?

Jen McNeil  I  LunchAssist:
Action for Healthy Kids also has some great smarter lunchrooms resources: https://www.actionforhealthykids.org/activity/smarter-lunchrooms/

01:14:26
Valerie Weivoda:
We also have a dining room two-part cleaning routine that involve the teachers to help us clean tables between classes. We have a spray that staff use at the end of the day on all tables, door knobs, ect. They wipe the tables down to remove any residue in the AM. We have containers of disinfectant wipes cashiers keep by them to wipe down high contact areas often throughout meal time. Stopped using pin pads but really need to bring them back to speed the line back up. Unfortunately, I don't believe they are able to space students out as mulch as they would like so they've opted for plastic barriers on every student desk.

01:16:13
Jen McNeil  I  LunchAssist:
Very well said! Thank you Maureen! Such an inspiration.
