Broward County Public Schools Food and Nutrition Services is Now Offering Free Breakfast and Lunch to All Students in 167 Schools Under the Community Eligibility Provision

By August 18, 2022No Comments

Who/What:

Beginning during the 2022/23 school year, Broward County Public Schools Food and Nutrition Services (BCPSFNS) is pleased to announce it is now operating under the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) to provide breakfast and lunch meals at no cost for all students at 167 eligible Broward County Public schools.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) offers CEP to schools with students qualifying for SNAP, TANF or Extension of Benefits. BCPS has identified schools with 40% or more students qualifying for these programs which allows BCPSFNS to provide breakfast and lunch at no cost to all students at those schools. Families will not need to complete an application to participate.

The remaining 61 schools will resume free breakfast for all students, under the Universal Free Breakfast Program. Students may also qualify for free lunch meals or reduced-price lunch meals for $0.40 based on their eligibility.

How:

Parents do not need to complete an application to qualify for meals at the 167 schools operating under CEP.

To apply for Free or Reduced-Price Meals, families must complete an application at www.myschoolapps.com. Approved applications may help that student’s school receive additional funding to cover the cost of materials, supplies, staffing, professional development for teachers and staff, community outreach and much more. For assistance with completing applications for free or reduced-price meals, families can contact the Food and Nutrition Services Department at 754-321-0250.

Five Things That Need to be in Your Resume or Cover Letter

To paraphrase Jerry Maguire, help us help you. As we sift through the paperwork, here’s what we are looking for:

1. What you love to do and why.

In PR, you may love writing, editing, interviewing, pitching the media, researching, coordinating events, networking, posting to social media … whew! While we would love it if you had a passion for it all, we’d never believe you if you said as much.

What part of this zany, crazy, whirlwind, yet meticulous, tedious, detail-oriented, profession calls to you and why? Help us make the connection as to how PR is really for you, and call it your Professional Summary.

2. Something you did that changed something or someone else.

If you never showed up to your last job, what wouldn’t have happened? That’s right. Erase yourself. Now which clients disappeared with you? Which articles just fade away? What press releases cease to exist? How much social media did NOT get liked?

We are just meeting you. So take a moment to spell out your impact, and it will be easier for us to see what you can do for the clients of Durée & Company. Share this under your Job Responsibilities.

3. Anything you created.

Feeling humble? Well, stop it. This is the part where you brag. If you craft a delightful blog, master a mind-blowing website, shoot crazy video or direct wonderful events, show us.

Then tell us a bit of how you did it, so we trust that it was your brilliance and not the intern’s. Let’s dub this Your Portfolio.

4. An indication of why you belong here.

At PR firm Durée & Company, we have a culture. Really, all companies do. To learn about ours, do some legwork. At this point, if you’re on our blog, you are in the right spot to begin learning. Hate pink? Not good with women? Live in Kansas? Low energy? Then you might want to reconsider applying. However, if we resemble a group that you’d like to hang out with, share why. You can do that in the Cover Letter.

5. Correctly spelled words – all of them.

Do more than hit spell check. Know how to spell or ask someone to proofread. Correctly spelled words work everywhere, all the time. Consider them the Little Black Dresses of resumes.

So consider these five tips – we’ve just given you a “cheat sheet” about what we’re watching out for. Even if our position may not be for you, feel free to use our advice for another – it may just get you the job!
