Editors’s note: Is Your Child’s School Cafeteria Safe?
The cafeterias are rated on a point scale from 1-100.  Some communities, such as Stamford, post information online, but use their own rating system: poor to best.
The data provided by C-HIT shows you: school name, the classification, date of the inspections, overall ratings and the violations and health inspector’s comments.
Schools are classified 1-4. Most schools are classified a 3 or 4, requiring 3 or 4 inspections yearly.

I am unable to find the ratings for MIDDLETOWN

I remember the old days when we had to walk up hill, in the snow, it was ten degrees below zero to get to the cafeteria…and we were inside the building at the time!

Dirt on food… we loved it. It added flavor to the army surplus crap we had to eat. No hair nets? It was always fun to get a hair in your food and see if it was a blonde or brunette that prepared the mashed potatoes that day. What a bunch of wimps!

what’s the advance notice that the schools are given prior to the visits?

Are these the same as the state visits?

Health system reform in the United States usually focuses around three suggested systems, with proposals currently underway to integrate these systems in various ways to provide a number of health care options. First is single-payer, a term meant to describe a single agency managing a single system, as found in most modernized countries as well as some states and municipalities within the United States. Second are employer or individual insurance mandates, with which the state of Massachusetts has experimented. Finally, there is consumer-driven health, in which systems, consumers, and patients have more control of how they access care
