SLIDE 14

Why PBIC?

  • Breakfast participation always lags behind

lunch

  • Know what you want to accomplish – then

we went out found a grant that supports that

  • PBIC goals most closely supported our

mission of expanding breakfast opportunities to all students

Getting Started

VISIT OTHER SCHOOLS TO SEE WHAT IS WORKING. What to look for during your visit:

Where are they serving meals? Where do students enter the building? Parent Drop Off, Bus Riders Do the students go straight to class? Are they held in the gym? …cafeteria? How is trash handled? Do they have clean-up stations…particularly for little ones? What items do they serve? What kind of equipment are they using? Carts, portable POS, bags, walkie talkies… Who is counting meals? When, where, how are meals counted? What lessons have they learned (good or bad) that will help you?

Working with Grant Partners

  • Don’t be afraid to ask
  • Start small
  • Purchase the bare minimum at the beginning. You may get other ideas, or things

could cost more than you thought, and you may regret spending your money too early.

  • Know your Numbers
  • People who give you a lot of money want to know that you will spend it wisely and

want to know the results

  • Keep the funding organization informed
  • The larger the impact, the more likely you are to be funded.
  • Spend it All
  • There should never be money left over. Be prepared to add a few of your own

dollars so that they don’t see any of their money wasted that could have helped someone else.

  • Strings Attached
  • Be prepared to commit to reporting, whether periodically or at the end.
  • Media Requirements
  • Be responsible – People giving you money want to know you will handle it wisely.
  • Watch deadlines, proofread your documents, be reasonable with your requests

District Administrator Perspective Brian Polito Chief Financial Officer Erie, PA

slide-24
SLIDE 24

Why did Erie’s Public Schools implement BIC?

  • Eighty-five percent of the district’s students are classified as

economically disadvantaged and depend on school meals to sustain them.

  • Prior to BIC, breakfast participation throughout all of the Erie’s

district was extremely low.

  • Participation was low due to:
  • Difficulty getting students to school early.
  • The stigma associated with the need for food when

participating in breakfast.

  • BIC was the solution to reducing a level of hunger within the

student body.

slide-25
SLIDE 25

How was the PBIC grant helpful?

  • Without the generous grant from the Partner’s for Breakfast in

the Classroom and the Walmart Foundation our BIC program would never have been possible.

  • The grant provided the necessary equipment for the

implementation of the program. Additionally, funds were available to assist in marketing.

slide-26
SLIDE 26

What makes our program successful?

  • BIC, delivery model, is now being served in 14 schools. Prior to BIC

participation ranged from 16%-44%. Participation now ranges from 50% – 81%

  • 2013 - 2014 was the final full year of the traditional breakfast in

the café. That year we served 491,060 in the selected schools.

  • 2015 - 2016 we served 899,470 breakfasts in the classroom at 14

schools, in over 360 classrooms. We increased our breakfast served by 408,410. That is a success!

  • The additional meals served, resulting in additional

reimbursements received, have assisted us in reinvesting into the school breakfast and lunch programs.

slide-27
SLIDE 27

Advice for other districts applying

  • Roll out your program in phases. This will allow the food service

department to learn the program and create effective daily

  • routines. The staff from these schools can then assist in training

the staff at schools scheduled for implementation at a later date.

  • The intermittent timing also allows for the management of any

challenges that may arise with the differences in building needs.

  • Successful phase implementation creates BIC Champions that

will assist in receiving buy in from others.

  • Visit BIC schools prior to final planning and purchasing of
  • equipment. Check out their program in action.
