 Food Service in the Nation's Schools: A Preliminary ReportWilliam H. Freund No 322760, Miscellaneous Publications from United States Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service Abstract: Excerpts from the report: During March 1968, the U.S. Department of Agriculture conducted a nationwide survey of school food programs. The survey dealt with availability of types of service, participation rates, costs to the schools, number of needy children served, and other aspects of school food programs. School milk, school breakfast, and school lunch programs were covered, together with food preparation facilities. To estimate school and pupil participation in food programs, a sample was taken of public and private elementary and secondary schools in the 50 States and the District of Columbia. The sample--8,000 public and 1,600 private schools--was drawn from lists maintained by the Bureau of Census. Half the schools received a questionnaire dealing primarily with school lunch services. The other half received one on milk and breakfast services and food preparation and facilities. Results in this report, based on the questionnaire concerning school lunch service, combine data for public and private schools.
