ala carte sales?

[mahrenholz]

Hello-
I hope you are all well and hanging in there!
I am curious how districts are selling ala carte sales (e.g. bottled water, chips, ice cream).
Currently we are not selling ala carte items in order to minimize the times students are out of their seats and walking by students who are unmasked and eating.
However, our finances would greatly benefit from selling ala carte items.
I am wondering what other districts are doing to safely sell ala carte.
Thanks!

Hi Megan,

We are selling a la carte in the serving line at most schools because they are going through the line as they normally would only with space in between them (stickers on floor).  Once they sit down with their meal, they don't get back up (unless they have to use the restroom).  It hasn't been an issue for us.

Hope this helps and take care,
Nadine

Hi Nadine,

thank you!

That is what I was thinking to do. But then I wasn't sure if it would be "fair" to only sell ala carte to the kids who were getting meals and/or to have the kids who didn't want a meal, but wanted snacks to have to stand in a long lunch line...? Do you run into any issues with that?
