Class Limit: 10 Students Notice of Change in In-Service Registration Procedure Because of the ever increasing cost of providing food services, we have changed the procedure for purchasing meals and lodging while attending In-Service classes. Our goal is to streamline the process allowing the kitchen to prepare only those meals that are needed. In the past, we collected meal and lodging requests on the first day of the class. This allowed no time for the kitchen to order the correct amount of food, or to know precisely how many meals would be needed for a certain class. We also allowed students to turn in unused meal tickets and did not bill them or their agency for those meals, even though the meals had been prepared. This is a practice that is both expensive and inefficient. Our new procedure will allow for three options when registering for an In-Service class: Only the tuition cost of the program will be billed to the agency. will be no lodging Tuition Only. and no meals. The agency will be billed for the tuition and all noon time meals served during that class. Day Student. If a student chooses to skip a meal, for whatever reason, that meal will still be billed to the agency because it was ordered and prepared. Residential Student. The agency will be billed for the tuition, all meals served and all nights lodging during that class. If a student chooses to skip a meal or decides not to stay overnight on a particular night, the agency will still be billed because those services were requested. Our hope is that this new procedure will help keep the increases to the meals and lodging at a minimum.
