Reviewer’s Comments:  The findings contained in this report in no way reflect on all of the hard work being done by the YSBC employees with duties in the school food services program. Due to the scope and size all SFAs operating these programs receive findings.  I want to commend Stormy Patterson, as well as the other staff members involved with YSBC’s school food services program on having a good review.  Keep up the good work!
