The Chez Panisse Foundation is proud to support the School Lunch Inittiative by funding the Director of Nutrition Services position through a three- year food service innovations grant to BUSD.

In addition, CPF is sponsoring an effort at Martin Luther King, Jr. Middle School to link educational opportunities in the lunch program to the classroom and The Edible Schoolyard garden and kitchen programs. BUSD has allocated the necessary funds to complete the Dining Commons and CPF is securing additional resources to equip the facility and ensure that it is a beautiful place for students to eat. The Dining Commons will serve as a teaching kitchen for King School and as a central kitchen for all of the middle schools. The building is scheduled to open in the fall of 2007.
