BASIS Scottsdale Boosters’ 2020-2021 Lunch Fundraising Program FAQ
|
How will the Lunch be served this school year?
We are following the complete guideline as per the CDC. The Lunch would come in the warmer in an individual Pre-Packed Box. The lunch would be served in the Classroom to maintain the Social Distance. Any Server handling the Food would be wearing Face Mask and Face Shield along with disposable gloves anytime they are touching the Food Box. Sounds great, but why doesn’t the school have a real cafeteria that serves lunches?
As a public charter school, BASIS Scottsdale receives less funding from the state compared to regular public schools nor does it receive any subsidies for a lunch program. Since there’s no cafeteria, the Boosters offer lunches – that can be ordered online - as a service by the Boosters as part of our mission to support and raise funds for the school |
