Central City Schools serves over 80,000 nutritionally balanced school meals to the students and staff of Central City Community School District during the school day. All meals are planned to follow nutritional guidelines set by the United States Department of Agriculture and the National School Lunch Program. All A La Carte and Snack items meet the Healthy, Hunger Free Kids Act requirements for calories, fat, sugar and sodium.
PayForIt System
The PayForIt system is a secure, online student data system that allows parents/guardians instant access to accurate, current and confidential information about lunch balances and other fees. It allows you to send on-line payments directly to your students’ school lunch account by credit card, debit card, and/or e-check.
Commodity Program
The United States Government donates high quality commodity items to be used in school meals. Flour, cheese, canned fruits and vegetables, ground beef, pork and turkey are some of the foods made available to schools. Central City School also participates in the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable program through the Department of Defense buying network.
Program Costs
Commodities meet approximately 20% of the total food costs for Nutrition Services. The remaining costs are covered by reimbursements from the USDA and from income generated from meal sales, a la carte and vending. Adult meals and visiting children meals are not subsidized and are sold at a price that covers ALL costs.
