Outsourcing of the School Nutrition Program (Year One)
This school year the three elementary school districts issued a shared request for proposal
for school nutrition management services. Our goal is to increase the percentage of
participation in the program by students and staff. One of the primary concerns for
Boxford is the development of a school nutrition program that delivers increased fresh
produce, in-house (or scratch cooking), and integration with the educational culture of the
elementary schools.

Whitsons Culinary Group was selected to provide management services to our district for
FY2016 with the opportunity to continue in FY2017 and FY2018 if unanimously
approved by the Boxford, Middleton, and Topsfield Elementary School Districts
annually.

Whitsons assigned Christopher Braden as our Food Service Director. Christopher Braden
comes to us with fifteen years of professional food service experience. He graduated with
honors from the Western Culinary Institute in Portland Oregon. His most recent position
was the Executive Chef for Niche Hospitality Group in Wellesley. Christopher also
worked in at the Yokohama International School in Yokohama Japan for several years.
