THUNDER BAY — The Lakehead District School Board is looking to contract out food service operations in its three high school cafeterias, leaving unanswered questions over how the change could impact food options and costs for local students, as well as staffing.
“The cafeterias in their current model … are not sustainable into the future,” said director of education Sherri-Lynn Pharand in an interview. Net losses on cafeteria operations have recently exceeded $300,000 a year, said superintendent of business Kirsti Alaksa, and were projected at $370,000 this year.
“We do have a significant amount of students in our schools, and there’s definitely opportunity there,” she said. “It’s just the cost model ... didn’t make it sustainable to keep our food prices low for kids. It really is just trying to do what’s best for kids in the end.” “We’re really hoping that it’s only a year and that we can get back to our members providing food services for the students.”
McGee said the union has concerns over introducing a for-profit model into schools, as well as the quality of jobs under a private operator.
