Transportation, Food Service, and Other Partnerships. UPA will work with the Columbus City Schools’ and South-Western City Schools’ transportation departments to ensure all students receive services within the policies of the district. Through the skilled and experienced operations team, UPA will work to develop strong relationships with CCS. In the school’s first year, and then every three years thereafter, UPA will create a request or proposal for food services. UPA anticipates that all food service will be provided by a vendor who will be able to cater all food items. The school will keep milk and dry food goods in approved storage locations. To identify the best fit for the school, UPA will seek a minimum of three bids from food-service providers. UPA will either establish a relationship with or contract with a licensed health professional to provide basic health, vision, and hearing screenings for students. All students will be screened as required by state law, and the school will establish follow-up procedures and protocols to inform families of results.

Transportation, Food Service, and Other Partnerships. In order to ensure that every child has access, the School will assume transportation for eligible students using school-specific buses (“yellow buses”). Older students in grades 9–12 will be encouraged, but not required, to utilize metro buses (public transportation) or other appropriate means of transportation to School. The School will utilize contracted transportation to serve students with special needs to the extent that the options mentioned above will not suffice. The mission of IDEA’s Child Nutrition Program – CNP – is to ensure that students receive the best nutrition to fuel their minds and bodies, making them ready to learn. CNP’s vision is to have a best-in-class program that encourages student participation by producing the best-tasting and most nutritious menu. CNP carries out this vision while also maintaining compliance, developing team members, improving operational efficiency, and exceeding stakeholder expectations. IDEA organizes health and wellness efforts through an operator initiative called Healthy Kids Here (HKH). HKH is focused on the three F’s: food, fitness, and forever. This means that the organization invests in supplying cafeterias with fresh fruits and vegetables grown at IDEA’s school-based farms (as applicable), revitalizing PE programs, and engaging families in community-health initiatives to create lifelong interest in healthy lifestyles. HKH’s emphasis on healthy food includes not only providing healthy options in cafeterias and adopting a smart-snack procedure but also providing health education and outdoor learning opportunities. The School will attempt to partner with the Ohio Department of Agriculture and local healthy food initiatives to continue this work in Cincinnati. Some of HKH’s food programs include the following: • HKH offers a meal program for students receiving free and reduced meals funded by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The CNP aims to lower fat content and increase whole grains, fresh fruits, and fresh vegetables in breakfast and lunch options while raising nutritional content. The School’s cafeterias aim to replace foods such as white rice and ranch dressing with more nutritious alternatives, such as quinoa and hummus, in an effort to increase the Healthy Eating Index (HEI) set forth by the USDA. The HEI is a measure of diet quality used to assess how well a set of foods aligns with key recommendations of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. • In some instances, HKH may offer t...
Transportation, Food Service, and Other Partnerships. Students are transported to and from school via RTA of Dayton. The school provides “tokens” for the students who ride the bus to help families with the cost of transportation to high school. Dayton Public Schools, the resident district, does not provide transportation to our school for high school students. The estimated annual cost for transportation is $40,000, which is based on a per-student estimate. Special-education students are transported via school van to the Xxxxxxxxxx County ESC, when needed. In other situations, the school’s van picks up the students to bring them to the high school. The van driver’s expenses are approximately $40,000 per year. The van driver also provides transportation services to and from events. Students will be provided nursing services. An outside vendor also provides evaluation services for special-need situations. The school holds a five-year lease with the University of Dayton for the occupancy. This lease ensures the intermediate success of the high school by providing a stable location. The school also contracts with META Solutions for fiscal software and e-school for EMIS software.

Transportation, Food Service, and Other Partnerships. In June 2021, DECA PREP solicited bids for food-service catering and selected Baked by Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, LLC, after a thorough review process. The feedback from students and staff during the first quarter of the 2021–22 school year has been very positive. The quality and taste of the food are significant improvements over the previous caterer. In August 2021, DECA PREP renewed its partnership with Goodwill Easter Seals (GWES) for custodial services. GWES provides second-shift custodial services at each campus and offers first- shift support when needed. As with most outsourced custodial services and the custodial service profession in general, GWES struggles with turnover, which has caused some minor concerns among the administrative staff. Overall, there is a professional relationship and open line of DocuSign Envelope ID: D9786F56-A291-4427-8E02-5B6CFD843AA8 communication. There have been improvements in the custodial services on both campuses in recent years. In February 2021, DECA PREP began a partnership with Midwest Commercial Services (MCS) for facilities maintenance support. MCS provides mostly second-shift maintenance work, such as general building maintenance, general handyman services, fire-alarm services, fire extinguisher/AED weekly checks, site-maintenance audits, HVAC and plumbing inspections, lawncare, snow and ice remediation, floor polishing, and event set-up/teardown. We identified over 300 deferred maintenance items that have mostly been remediated. There is an automated work-order system that allows staff to enter requests, which are then tracked and analyzed. Overall, this support will help maintain and extend the life of the facilities.
