Sarasota County Schools Food & Nutrition Services

Sarasota District Schools' Food and Nutrition Services has emerged as one of the state's premier School Food Service operations. Our priority is to provide quality food in a comfortable atmosphere with friendly faces and the best possible service. Well trained employees serving attractive and good tasting meals in a pleasant environment is an ongoing priority. Employees are encouraged to recognize

customers--the students, staff, parents, and the community as the reason for the program's existence. A common theme throughout the department is financial responsibility and stability. Fair prices charged to paying students is a must, as a direct correlation exists between price and meal participation. Students eligible to receive free or reduced-price meals are encouraged to fully participate in both breakfast and lunch. Nutritional integrity of meals and nutrition education are focal points for the department. The types of foods served are consistent with U.S. Dietary Guidelines, and allowance is provided for student preferences and tastes. Quality...value...dedication to the customer...a commitment to excellence...maintaining our obligations to our customers, our employees, our School Board, and to our community. These are the solid cornerstones on which the future of the Sarasota County Food and Nutrition Services will be built. These are the standards by which we will be judged. This institution is an equal opportunity provider and employer.
