hi Karen! You rock!

Amazing work, indeed :D

CEP schools we have to serve Breakfast and Lunch at no cost during normal circumstances

Letter will be send out by the end of the week! You can view it here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Gg6owDFHpus_4YgN6egbOP2b-j2pzoZr4vLzRo8eGBY/edit

does anyone know what the timeline on this act is?

For California child nutrition directors in “watch list” counties: are you regularly part of reopening decision-making meetings? What intervals are your districts meeting at leading up to reopening campuses?

They are routing a Dear Colleague letter due today

Regarding SSO implementation for the remainder of SY 20/21 - how will districts be reimbursed? Typically reimbursement is calculated on ISP %'s ...

Please clarify/explain how to submit claims for each site of student enrollment if the District is 100% CEP and the meals provided may be given to households with multiple children enrolled various schools.

From what we’ve heard from our contact on the Hill, the USDA has asked for the bill to be passed through the House, because they don’t believe they have the authority to grant the waivers through 20/21. Though, we are continuing to pressure them through every avenue possible.

If you are serving students at locations that are the students home school, when filing claims, if you are doing a bulk entry, just make sure you do not go over the student enrollment when claiming

https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/COVID-19/In-Person-Elementary-Waiver-Process.aspx

Leyla, yes absolutely. We have been meeting weekly since we closed in addition transitioned our district "Safety" Committee into a Logistics/Operations committee... we have been meeting biweekly since July. In addition, we have been on every Principal/Teacher planning meeting since June.

Yes, we are involved. We were meeting twice a week earlier this summer, but everything got a bit scattered with the governor's order on July 16. Meetings are sporadic in our district now

The bill has to pass both house and senate.

Exactly. It has to pass both. It is expected to sail through the House.

^thanks for that info!

And will stop dead in the senate. :-(

Senate is another problem. So there is also a “Dear Colleague” Letter being circulated to pressure Senate.

Catherine, according to CDE, schools have to collect meal counts BY SCHOOL regardless of where the students picked up their meal (from another site they don't usually attend). We will try to get more info on this and get back to you.

USDA is in support, but looking for the political pressure,

*from what we’ve heard

agreed!!

Is anyone offering Pop Up Child Care to children of essential workers?

Kat & Emily thanks for sharing more! For counties on the list, I’m curious how often they are reevaluating and generally what will be expected of you all to turn on a time & have campuses open.

Ed Burke from Santa Rosa shared this neat touch free adapter for those cambro containers: https://www.amazon.com/Cambro-LCDES110-Black-Dispenser-Spigots/dp/B0037XHE1A

Placer County is on the watch list. Our district covers Nevada, Placer and parts of El Dorado... since we are under Placer COE we are following those guidelines. Daily both public health Directors are in direct contact with our Superintendent, reevaluating

Wow, thank you ^

We must be off the watchlist for 14 days; for our district that means any and all counties our schools reside in. Eastern Nevada County which is Truckee has seen a significant increase in cases due to tourism

We are working on reopen hybrid plans sometime in October -we shall see

We’ll share out Christina’s contact info in the follow up email, too!

(Thank you, Christina!)

Thank you!

Awesome work SDUSD :D

If you are offering 1 type of milk, are you offering flavored, or plain?

I would like to see guidance from CDE regarding OVS that only covers milk. I am concerned this information is incorrect

it's not possible to do 'partial' OVS right? ie. let students decline milk/fruit but not the potentially pre-plated meat/MA/Grain?

^ I second Sally's concern.

Any updates on the waiver to continue serving the community?

USDA is not moving toward allowing area eligibility

Thank you!

or extending SFSP or SSO

Thanks for the update, Stephanie.

Can you share more about what you’ve heard?

By the way, folks, if you have the capacity to package your own juice in small cartons, you could package water that way, too. When she was at Detroit USD, Betti Wiggins set this up to help keep her kids hydrated with water

Website correction. www.recyclecartons.com (small typo on the slide)

Thank you Debbi! www.recyclecartons.com

Sally, Anna and Emily, thank you for your comment. We will get more info to clarify your concerns.

congrats on Pro!!

Love the PRO! Great job

where can we find free COVID school trainings

You can just submit a new meal pattern flexibility waiver, not in CNIPS

Yes. I just emailed my CNC and got the approval from her

I haven’t seen any guidance on employee break room

They don't want us to do new waivers, just update

other industries (like recycling facilities) just space people apart in break rooms.

Regarding Breakrooms, all I’ve heard on this issue is that staff should NOT eat together. Especially indoors. Outside, apart. 6’ (at least). And stay in cohorts/work pods

We have schedule all breaks to stagger. we do not allow people to be within 6 feet of each other while eating. we also have stickers on floors and tables showing where people can stand or sit.

maybe they can go outside for their break under a tree for shade?

Similar to how restaurants are spacing guests for patio dining.

We recommend their Cars

^^ good suggestion

Good idea, Jennifer

Thank you Amanda and Stephanie, those are great strategies, thanks for sharing!

Maybe have a classroom for cooling especially where it is hot like here 110-120

Utilize the MPR. Should be plenty of room.

Such good ideas!

Yes please! Great idea!

Yes, please make this available to all!

Interested. apitrone@euhsd.org

Great Idea

that would be awesome to know how many serving are in whole vegetables and fruit

yes please

Hope is not as confusing as the food buying guide

Not an exact science.

Yes, darlene.morrow@prosserschools.org

We’ll share out broadly :)

It’s awesome, Mickinzie is amazing for creating it!

Yes! As Mickinzie mentioned — pls let us know if there are other items you want to see featured in the calculator :)

Has anyone developed their claiming procedures and willing to share?

Any one have a district where staff prefer to serve breakfast and lunch at separate times every day?

We have two schools that do not have School Breakfast Program, but the sites where we will be distributing curbside meals do have SBP. Can we claim breakfasts that we serve to students from those two schools?

For sure you'll be able to, just need to apply for SBP for those 2.

Would that be something similar for kids who ride the bus to a different district, but live in our community?

I plan to give my students color coded meal card designate colors by school sites. My bus staff will will tally on a paper each meal by school then claim them accordingly

I am a CEP school

^ that’s a good idea, Cathy

Thanks for another great meeting! Leaving for another meeting.

Thank you!

Thanks for another great call. Hats off to you all!
