Food Service Program
Until 2003, the District managed its own food service program. At that time, they had Chartwells Educational Dining Service provide meals. In 2007, they began looking for other providers in order to save money. In March 2008, Whitsons Food Nutrition was chosen. The amount saved was $89,000 not including insurance savings. The company pays employees' health insurance, thereby saving the district that cost.

“In the early forties and fifties almost everybody “had about enough to live on,” and young ladies dressed well on a hundred dollars a year. The daughters of the richest man in Boston were dressed with scrupulous plainness, and the wife and mother owned one brocade, which did service for several years. Display was considered vulgar. Now, alas! only Queen Victoria dares to go shabby.”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
