BOSTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS FNS Mission We work to offer all Boston Public School students safe, wholesome, nutritious, enjoyable meals to fuel academic excellence. We achieve this in collaboration with students, parents, the community, and school professionals. FNS Goals • Achieve Fiscal Stability • Increase Technology • Decrease Waste • Build Our Culture 3
BOSTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS FNS Financial Overview ▪ 66% of BPS schools have satellite kitchens that consist of only a refrigeration and heating oven ▪ Food purchasing represents: Vended meal programs are 63.6% of the food budget ○ Spent over $100 million in vended meals for 13 years ○ ▪ Labor is a significant cost at 43.2% of the total budget, but it is lower than the average for urban school districts, partly due to the reliance on the satellite model ▪ Goal to be self sustaining based on reimbursements but challenged to provide high quality, local food with high nutritional value within budget to all students 4
