About
WELCOME TO THE CHILD NUTRITION PROGRAM
The Child Nutrition Program (CNP) provides school foodservice for Lawrence County students and staff under the guidelines and regulations of the United States Department of Agriculture. All schools have a commercial kitchen on site that provides nutritious meals every school day for our students, staff, and visitors.
Staff
Each school cafeteria has a manager and assistant manager. Both are ServSafe certified.
Meals
All student meals are subsidized by the Federal Government to insure that all students receive adequate nutrition.
All students in our school system eat FREE this school year because we qualify to participate in the Community Eligibility Provision/USDA Program.
They will still need money for any extras they wish to purchase.
The Child Nutrition Program is funded by the Federal Government and through daily food sales.
Substitute CNP Workers
Substitute workers are always needed in the cafeterias. An application must be completed and turned in to the Board of Education. Arrangements must be made for fingerprinting and a background check at the expense of the applicant. Call the Central Office at 256-905-2400 to locate a fingerprinting site.
Substitute pay is $90.00 per day.
