Background:
|
|
Bay View High School has received a grant from the National Academy Foundation (NAF) to support the creation of a school-based food truck that bridges the school and the community. The purpose of the food truck is to create a work based learning venture when students in the Culinary Arts program can use their culinary skills and learn best practices in business to operate a food truck in Milwaukee.
The goals of the food truck include creating self-sustaining funding through food sales to support the continuing operation and supplies for the food truck. Ultimately, the Bay View Food truck could become an Earn and Learn program with the City of Milwaukee, where all culinary arts students have the opportunity to apply to work for summer employment.
The NAF grant funds cover the equipment needed for the food truck. The school has allocated funds from the FY24 school budget to cover the construction and remodeling of the truck which was donated by the MPS Facilities and Maintenance fleet in the fall of 2023. The construction will be completed this summer by the Facilities and Maintenance dept shops. The city of Milwaukee permit application will be submitted with Board approval with the intent of beginning service at district and community events Fall, 2025. |
