"The Grand Jury recommends that the school principal and Food Services Manager internally address the potential for early suspens ion ofservices. " • Response to· Recommendation 4: Already Implemented Prior to Grand Jury's Review As noted above, and in the Report, no early suspension of service has occurred. Reliable and predictable food service as observed by the Grand Jury is a direct result of the District's consistent implementation and oversight of established food service procedures. Specifically, at each school site, including MHS, written schedules are established for the daily preparation, commencement and cessation of food services. Further, the District has instituted a multi-level organizational structure to oversee and ensure that school site food services adhere to the established schedule as well as comply with all federal, State and District rules,· regulations and procedures. Accordingly, the potential for early suspension of services has already been addressed internally, and the District will continue with its established procedure. CONCLUSION I am appreciative that the Grand Jury took the time to review and observe food services at Marysville High School. As evidenced by the Report itself, the District is doing an exemplary job. District staff takes pride in their work, take it seriously, and will continue to strive to give students access to nutritious and enjoyable meals in a timely and orderly fashion. :J Y Jce1J ' G~dd, Dr. Superintendent cc: Food Services Manager, Marysville High School Director of Food Services, Marysville Joint Unified School District Gary Cena, Principal, Marysville High School -. z.,-Jl rc.J~ <l..
