38100
. (a) The cost of providing adequate housing for cafeterias,
including, but not limited to, kitchen facilities, is a charge
against the funds of the school district. The cost of the lease or
purchase of cafeteria equipment and of vending machines and their
installation and housing shall be a charge against cafeteria funds,
in accordance with Section 38091. However, when the governing board
of a school district deems it necessary, the governing board of a
school district may make the cost of the lease or purchase of
cafeteria equipment for a kitchen or central food processing plant,
and vending machines and their installation and housing a charge
against the funds of the school district. If school district funds
are expended for the lease or purchase of kitchen equipment or for
the lease, purchase, installation, or housing of vending machines,
the governing board of the school district may at any time during the
same fiscal year after the expenditure reimburse school district
funds from cafeteria funds. The governing board of a school district
shall only approve reimbursement for vending machines if one, or
both, of the following apply:
(1) The vending machines are owned and operated by the school food
services department, sell meals that qualify for federal meal
program reimbursement, and are equipped with appropriate point of
service meal counting software.
(2) The vending machines sell only food, or only beverages, or
both that comply with state and federal competitive food laws and
regulations.
(b) The governing board of a school district may by resolution
make the cost of maintenance of the kitchen facilities, the cost of
replacement or maintenance of kitchen equipment, and costs of
telephone charges, water, drinking water in the cafeteria,
electricity, gas, coal, wood, fuel, oil, and garbage disposal related
to food service and delivery a charge against cafeteria funds,
provided that the school district complies with all applicable state
and federal laws and regulations.
