[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is 12:05 and this year, as my child just finished PS. Chartwells started the year better, using stonyfield dairy products and less processed meats, but somewhere mid-year it changed. They kept to the non-fried rule, but found loop holes with the rest. It was posted somewhere on dcps, b/c my school sent out a notice about it.[/quote]

Ah, that would be just about exactly when Kaya Henderson fired Jeff Mills, the head of Food Services for DCPS who had been trying to move DCPS toward cook-from-scratch meals and in the interim, much higher standards for vendor contracts (i.e. Stonyfield Farms instead of Trix).  Henderson has said over and over she doesn't give a crap about school food so don't look for any improvements this coming year.  More Chartwells, lower quality menu items, no accountability for being off-menu.

And speaking of off-menu, Chartwells' contract stipulates penalties for failing to serve their published menu items.  Drop a dime on them to Office of Food & Nutrition Services if what's being served is not what's on that day's published menu.  Getting oranges everyday instead of the fruit listed on the menu?  Report it.  If nothing else, report it to Mary Cheh's office and they'll follow up.
