Food Safety Certifications

We are proud to say 119 of our 138 employees have received their Manager Certification of Food Safety from the Ohio Department of Health. The Ohio Department of Health only requires one employee per site to have this certification, but our team is known for going above and beyond.

Regular Training

Our staff undergoes yearly training to strengthen the influence school nutrition professionals have in their community and to build skills that empower staff to lead and efficiently operate school nutrition programs.

Dietitian-Approved Menus

The Department of Child Nutrition employs two Registered Dietitians and a chef to work with our staff to help develop nutritious, balanced menus.

Join Our Team!

Work while your kids are in school and be finished before the last bell rings!

Are you looking for a job in a fun, fast-paced environment? Parents, does looking through these menus bring up nostalgic memories of being in school? Join the Child Nutrition Services Department to benefit from ideal hours, paid holidays and sick time, free meals, and plenty of room for advancement. This Institution is an Equal Opportunity Provider.
