For some school services staff, summer break is their busy season. Here's how they're preparing schools for the new year.
During a blind taste test inside a Boston Public Schools' kitchen, chefs Alexis Assad and Andrew Urbanetti dig into chicken seasoned with three taco spice blends without a lot of salt.
The food services professionals aren't digging into chicken before noon simply to rank spice mixes. They're in search of the best seasoning that meets the district's evolving health standards by mostly ditching the salt. Pastelón, a Puerto Rican dish made with plantains, cheese and ground meat, will return in the fall — with some tweaks recommended by students last year. For students with specific dietary restriction, like some Muslims or Jewish pupils, the district also recently put more halal and kosher dishes on lunch menus."We want to make sure that they're being seen and heard and appreciated through the food on their plate," Urbanetti said.
The school bus mechanic is checking that the van's safety components are all working smoothly. From start to finish, this quality check will take about two hours. More than 12,000 students in Worcester rely on school buses. Mechanic Jani Nakollari performs a brake job on a Worcester school bus during summer maintenance readying it for the next school year.
"We're washing all the furniture, washing the walls, and the floors in every classroom," said Lowe, the senior building custodian at Witchcraft Heights Elementary School in Salem.
