Report of the Committee on Restoration of November 4, 2010
Prior to this commission school restoration, the Director of AVENANCE, Stephanie Baldassari, we visited the central kitchen where meals are prepared for our children.
The central kitchen is built since 1983. It was therefore urgent to carry out work. This work was done during the summer of 2010. Plumbing, roof repairs to prevent leaks when it rains, soil rehabilitation in the cooking to reduce noise. Investments have also been made: buying large bouncers, a washing boots.
In the central kitchen, there are two areas, one green and one orange. The Green Zone is the area where deliveries take place. In this area you can move around without protective clothing. It circulates in the "principle of the forward march" that is to say that commodities are distributed according to their nature reserves in separate fridges and then follows a defined route.
deliveries take place every morning. The products delivered are stored in fridges and reserves and sorted by category.
In refrigerators, there are tracers temperature related to portable Director and agents are warned in case of trouble.
On reserve, stored non-perishable food, including meals help to cope with contingencies.
should know that fresh vegetables are decontaminated with bleach, but the dosage is small, 1 for 1000, so safe for the health of our children.
The orange zone is the area most sensitive. The officers are dressed in white blouse with cap, mask and boots. The boots are washed each output Using a machine boots bought this summer.
The room was warm place conditioning is managed by an agent that monitors the temperatures at the heart of the meat. These controls are essential to minimize health risks.
In another room are run cold dishes such as vegetable salads, homemade desserts. Agents have a high-quality material.
The preparations are then placed in trays and stored in a refrigerated room called "House of finished products. Among the trays, there are yellow trays serving trays of cookies during the passage of veterinary services for health checks. These trays are also given to a laboratory (SILIKEUR) based in Toulouse, for analysis.
In another cold room called "House of distributions," the trays are stored ready for delivery the following day in each school.
This visit was very rewarding.
The first meeting of the year takes place in the presence of a member of the CODES (Departmental Committee for Health Education) which informs us of a project that began in three schools of Agen (Sembel, Bara and Reclus) . Agen part of the cities working PNNS (Plan National Nutrition and Health).
This is a nutrition project that consists of 7 workshops with teachers to educate children about food with a gourmet book.
We also presents a newly engaged lady in charge of monitoring agents during meals and there are 32 employees of the future on 15 schools. It is intended to give these officers a day training so they learn to better present them selfs.
Under PNNS, another project is underway at 3 schools (Reclus, Paul Bert and Scaliger), "A fruit for recess." It is distributed once a week a piece of fruit or fruit juices fresh, local produce in season from January 2011. This national project concerns only the elementary schools (no kindergarten) *.
We learn that the school canteen will Reclus self next year.
We talk a problem of quantity of food on the plates of children who are not always well proportioned. Mrs. Baldassare, who runs the central kitchen, is aware of the problem and informs us that the canteen will be equipped with scales to address it. Witness plate will be formed to assist the ladies in charge of the service to manage the quantity so that students are served fairly.
Bara We also learn that as part of a program of eco-school project has a respect for the environment on the theme of water and that students are aware of water conservation as in the canteen.
