BASIS Scottsdale Boosters’ 2021-2022 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 be served in the MPR . Any server handling the food would be wearing disposable gloves anytime they are handling the food. 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 |
