The New York City Board of Education, Office of School Food and Nutrition Services (OSFNS) serves approximately 1.2 million meals daily to students and staff. Their Pest Control Division is a part of OSFNS. The school system is comprised of 32 school districts and contains approximately 1200 school buildings. The normal school term food program consists of breakfast, lunch, and in many schools, "Latch-Key" meals served after school. Throughout the summer and during many extended holiday recess periods, over 900 schools provide breakfast and lunch at no charge to all persons under 18 years of age. Except for a handful of sites and meals are prepared hot at the school site to enhance palatability and encourage student participation. This type of program requires restaurant type equipment, and that requires state of the art pest control services.
