This office maintains building interior surfaces in a clean and sanitary condition, to make sure exterior hard surfaces and fields are accessible and usable for their intended purpose and ensure building systems function effectively and efficiently. This involves many tasks including cleaning classrooms, sanitizing restrooms, electrical repairs, carpentry projects, plumbing repairs, heating and ventilation repairs\/controls, mowing play fields, storm water management, moving furniture, managing recycling, garbage collection, monitoring energy use and more.<\/p>\n The Facilities office is located at:<\/p>\n Bellingham Public Schools Facilities Use<\/strong><\/a> (360-676-6500)<\/strong><\/p>\n Bellingham Public School facilities are provided by the public and should be made available to the community for use when practical and such use does not conflict with the operations of the district. District-sponsored activities, including curricular and co-curricular functions, retain first priority in use of facilities. Authorization for use of school facilities will not be considered as endorsement or approval of the activity, group or organization.<\/p>\n Food Services<\/a> (360-676-6504)<\/strong><\/p>\n Food Services is responsible for providing nutritious and affordable meals and promoting nutrition education. Food Services prepares and serves on average more than 6,000 low cost, nutritious meals for students at 22 locations in the district. Meals must be in compliance with the Child Nutrition Program, administered by the United States Department of Agriculture. The financial goal of the program is a break-even or better level of operation; however, the department also supports programs such as the snack program that do not generate income; and the district has provided some subsidies to help support the transition of the program. Income is received from federal and state government reimbursements as well as student participation. The educational goal of the program is to provide students, staff and parents with information to facilitate good nutritional habits that will last a lifetime.<\/p>\n
