Annex 2: National School Food Program - 2024-2025 Action Plan - Prince Edward Island

Section 1: Introduction / Overview

The Government of Prince Edward Island supports Island families by ensuring that school-aged children have equitable access to nutritious food options, through the universally accessible lunch program ("Bon Appétit") and the free breakfast and snack programs offered at all Island schools. The provincial education system consists of two Education Authorities, the Public Schools Branch (PSB) and la Commission scolaire de langue française (CSLF), that operate 62 elementary/intermediate/senior high schools (56 English / 6 French first language) and provide a wide range of education and support services to approximately 21,800 students.

Providing healthy and affordable meals options for all school-aged children attending public schools, through universally accessible breakfast, snack, and lunch programs:

Provincial Lunch Program

Bon Appétit is a provincial lunch program that provides all Island students (K-12) universal access to a healthy and affordable lunch option each day. The PEI School Food Program Inc. (PEISFP) is a nonprofit organization and registered charity that is responsible for the successful development and delivery of the provincial lunch program. See: PEI's School Food Program Inc.

The provincial lunch program uses three models of food service delivery and support.

First, it uses a hub model in many Island schools. In this model, food is prepared within six large, centralized schools that serve as hubs for smaller surrounding schools within the PSB. These centralized hubs generally provide access to meals within those schools and their associated family of schools. Each hub employs PEISFP staff who prepare and package the food on a daily basis. These staff vary depending on the size and capacity of the hub, but generally include a kitchen manager, cooks, and kitchen assistants.

Second, PEISFP utilizes a vendor model to provide food where school food hubs are not established. Under this model, five community-based commercial vendors are contracted to prepare and deliver healthy meals to schools. These vendors are local, for-profit businesses that are utilized within PSB schools, and PEISFP individually negotiates bulk purchase rates to contain food costs as much as possible.

Finally, PEISFP maintains an arrangement with the CSLF to support school-specific meal provision within the Island's French first-language schools. This arrangement continues to evolve and has involved support for meal planning and menu preparation, sharing program communications, supporting schools through the pay-what-you-can (PWYC) program, and working with five CSLF vendors who provide food to students within some of the Island's French schools. These vendors are a mix of non-profit organizations, and small local businesses such as daycares.

Special Dietary Needs

Student safety is a priority for PEISFP. It aims to ensure that those with special dietary needs can participate in the provincial lunch program. Presently:

PEISFP uses a PWYC payment model for the lunch program, where families and students can choose the amount they pay for each meal, for any amount between $0 (where the meal is obtained for free) or the full price (currently a maximum of $5.75 per meal). Using this PWYC payment model ensures that all Island students have barrier-free access to healthy meals for the duration of the school year.

During the 2023-2024 school year, 841,837 lunches were distributed to Island students. Based on past trends and early indicators for the current school year, it is anticipated that there will be further increases in utilization of the provincial lunch program during the 2024-2025 school year.

Based on enrollment levels, food costs, and revenue from the PWYC mechanism, the Government of Prince Edward Island provides funding support to PEISFP. For the 2024-2025 school year, projected increases in program enrollment, increasing food and labour costs, and declining PWYC cost recovery rates, are anticipated to cause continued and substantial increases in program costs for the PEISFP-administered lunch program.

Uptake and enrollment have been steadily increasing within the PEISFP's provincial lunch program. Since its creation, the program has experienced continual growth in total meals served, registered diners, and overall student participation rates. Ongoing increases in demand for this program are strong indicators of unmet needs in Island communities, as more and more families turn to the provincial lunch program to access healthy meals for their school-aged children.

At the same time, revenue generated through the PWYC cost recovery mechanism has been steadily declining as fewer families are able to pay for the costs of their children's meals. This mechanism allows families to pay what they can afford for the meals. The steady decline in revenue generated through this PWYC mechanism is a strong indicator that many Islanders face financial barriers preventing them from paying the costs associated with accessing a healthy meal.

When considered together, the decline in PWYC revenue and the increases in both demand and expenditures are indicators of the ongoing need for meal support for PEI children and families. As demand continues to grow, and revenue continues to decline, the funding pressures within the provincial lunch program will continue to present challenges for program administrators.

Breakfast/Snack Programs

Since 2008, the Department of Education and Early Years (EEY) has provided funding to support school-base, volunteer led, breakfast and snack programs that are universally accessible for all students, free of charge, and provided in a non-stigmatizing way.

Over the years, there has been a steady growth in:

As each program is operated by each school through local volunteers and school staff, there are a variety of arrangements in place involving partnerships between the local communities, school administrators, and EEY (through the provision of funding and policy support). While this approach has allowed schools to determine how to best meet local needs given the resources available to them, it has led to a patchwork of programs that vary in scope and access to financial resources. Appendix 1 of this Action Plan provides a listing of all publicly funded Prince Edward Island schools.

Policy Context

On August 30, 2024, the Auditor General of Prince Edward Island published a report on the healthiness of food in schoolsFootnote 1. This report considered issues such as the current state of school nutrition policies, the monitoring and reporting on healthy eating in schools, and compliance with school nutrition policies.

While the report found that the food offered through PEISFP was fully compliant with school nutrition policies, it contained a series of recommendations that identify areas of improvement within the school food environment. The recommendations include the need to update school nutrition policies to reflect current best practice, to increase monitoring and oversight of school compliance with their respective school nutrition policy, and to work with schools to address barriers to compliance. Both the PSB and the CSLF have committed to work with EEY, and other education system partners, to respond to the Auditor General's recommendations.

Section 2: Implementation Plan

Prince Edward Island has been a leader in school food programming. Despite the emergence of funding challenges, the Island's innovative universal provincial lunch program serves as a model for other provinces and territories. Based on the strength of these existing programs, this Action Plan largely seeks to build on these successes through four areas of activity.

1. Support increased access within the provincial lunch program

To ensure expanded access to barrier-free, healthy meals, federal funding will be utilized to fund growing costs directly related to increased uptake as more families enroll in the program, and with declining revenue as more families access free or heavily subsidized meals. Without federal support, the combined factors of increased cost and declining revenue threaten the sustainability of the lunch program.

Given the importance of continued access to healthy school lunches for Island children and families in need, this priority is the largest area of focus within this Action Plan.

2. Bring additional school food hubs online within the PEISFP

As noted previously, PEISFP currently utilizes a mix of vendors and school food hubs to procure or produce and deliver meals for Island students. However, given the increased control over meal quality and responsiveness to the changing policy environment, PEISFP is pursuing an ongoing conversion of schools to the hub food service model, with the ultimate goal of establishing hubs in all viable central school sites across Prince Edward Island. This ongoing conversion has cost implications related to both personnel (e.g. kitchen staff and quality assurance staff) and capital investments/infrastructure improvements (e.g. freezers, fridges, ovens, kitchen space, etc.). Funding provided under this agreement will be used to support the continued conversion of school food service delivery to the hub model.

3. Increase supports to Island schools for breakfast and snack programs

While EEY currently provides funding to schools to assist community efforts in administering breakfast and snack program, demand for support continues to increase. Program demand is increasing, and this growth is challenging the ability of schools to secure the donations and resources required to maintain programming for all children. A portion of this funding will be used to enhance and supplement existing supports for schools to maintain these breakfast and snack programs, by supporting the purchase of food to complement community donations, resulting in increased access to healthy food for Island students.

4. Ensure strong governance and policy alignment

Further to the August 2024 recommendations of the Auditor General, EEY will utilize funding to secure specialized staffing resources (1 FTE) needed to coordinate and lead policy work that will strengthen and modernize the school food policy environment, including the establishment of mechanisms that will lead to greater policy compliance among Island schools. This time-limited work will have lasting impacts within the Island's various school food programs.

Section 3: Indicators, Targets, and Expected Results

Indicators

To support oversight of federal funding, the Government of Prince Edward Island is proposing to monitor and report annually on a number of key indicators. This reporting will measure program growth and performance against the baseline 2023-2024 school year. As part of this Agreement, and in alignment with the identified priorities noted above, the Government of Prince Edward Island commits to annual reporting on the indicators in the table below (with baseline figures for 2023-2024 indicated).

Targets

Due to the provincial scope of existing programming, the Government of Prince Edward Island is proposing to utilize federal funding to support expansion of the provincial lunch program and school-based breakfast and snack programs. The targets identified below are based on this approach. The projected increases below that are attributable to federal funding include an estimated 1,520 additional students participating in the lunch program and 812 additional students participating in the breakfast/snack program. The projected increases attributable to federal funding also include an estimated 158,163 additional lunches served and 279,864 additional breakfasts/snacks served, for a total of 438,027 additional meals served.

Baseline Indicators and Targets

NumberFootnote 2 of children served through breakfast and snack programs (where available) 13,800 unique students accessed the program at some point during the school year 15,000 unique students accessed the program at some point during the school year
Financial supports provided to schools for breakfast and snack programs $325,000 $495,000
NumberFootnote 2 of meals served per week in breakfast and snack programs 63,500 75,000

For the purpose of baseline reporting under this Action Plan, Prince Edward Island has 56 schools within PSB, 6 schools within CSFL, 1 school run by Lennox Island First Nation, and 12 Alternative Education Programs with physical locations. Together, these schools and programs serve 21,798 Island students, and all schools/programs have access to the provincial lunch program, and breakfast/snack programs.

In addition to the metrics noted above, future reporting would note any infrastructure improvements (e.g., hubs), and any schools with expanded and/or enhanced school food programs funded under this Agreement.

Section 4: Expenditures

Financial Supports

In Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-2024, the Government of Prince Edward budgeted a total of $4,383,000 to support school food initiatives. This was broken down as follows:

$4,058,000
2023-2024 Department of Social Development and Seniors (SDS) budget to support for school-based lunch programs
$325,000
2023-2024 EEY budget to support for school-based breakfast and snack programs
$4,383,000
2023-2024 Total provincial budget for school food programs

The $4,058,000 budgeted in 2023-2024 for school-based lunch programs includes both funding provided to PEISFP to administer the provincial lunch program, and $97,250 provided annually to Lennox Island First Nation to support their self-administered and culturally appropriate school lunch program.

Due to increases in program demand during the 2023-2024 school year, the Government of Prince Edward Island made additional expenditures totaling $1,164,335 in FY2023-2024 to cover the growing costs of the provincial lunch program. This resulted in a total Provincial expenditure of $5,547,335 in FY2023-2024 for school food programs, which included a total payment of $5,126,000 to PEISFP.

Prior to any supplementary funding provided through the National School Food funding agreement, the committed provincial funding for the provincial lunch program was increased by one million dollars ($1M) in FY2024-2025, and the budget for provincial breakfast and snack programs was increased to $380,000. This resulted in a total provincial budget allocation of $5,438,000. This is broken down as follows:

$5,058,000
2024-2025 SDS budget to support for PEISFP lunch program
$380,000
2024-2025 EEY budget to support for school-based breakfast and snack programs
$5,438,000
2024-2025 Total provincial budget for school food programs

To support the activities identified in the Implementation Plan noted in Section 2, the Government of Prince Edward Island will allocate federal funding as follows:

Table 2 The Government of PEI's planned allocation of federal funding
Fiscal Year Total Federal Funding Lunch Program Support Breakfast/Snack Program Support Policy Support
2024-2025 $2,181,675 $1,962,675 $115,000 $104,000
2025-2026Footnote 3 $2,471,964 $2,341,964 $130,000 $0
2026-2027Footnote 3 $2,471,964 $2,341,964 $130,000 $0

For FY2024-25, this would result in the following breakdown of federal and provincial spending to support school-based food initiatives:

Table 3 Breakdown of federal and provincial spending to support school-based food initiatives
Funding Source Total Funding Lunch Program Support Breakfast/Snack Program Support Policy Support
Federal $2,181,675 $1,962,675 $115,000 $104,000
Provincial $5,438,000 $5,058,000 $380,000 $0
Total FY2024-2025 $7,619,675 $7,020,675 $495,000 $104,000

With respect to the proposed actions identified under the Implementation Plan (Section 2), Federal funding will be used to support the following specific activities:

Lunch Program Support

Breakfast/Snack Program Support

Policy Support

Section 5: Indigenous Collaboration

Lennox Island First Nation

John J. Sark Memorial School (K-6) is located in Lennox Island First Nation and is the only band-operated school in Epekwitk (Prince Edward Island). SDS directly funds Lennox Island First Nation to operate the lunch program at John J Sark Memorial School. This ensures that the approximately 50 children who attend the school are provided access to meals that are aligned with Indigenous teachings and culture.

Indigenous students from John J. Sark Memorial School attend Hernewood Intermediate for grade 7-9 and Westisle Composite High School for grades 10-12, which is a PEISFP school food hub location. Indigenous students attending these public schools all have barrier-free access to healthy lunches offered by PEISFP.

SDS staff recently met with Lennox to discuss longer term, stable funding for their school food program, and for future opportunities to support culturally appropriate summer food programming for school-aged children.

Abegweit First Nation

Abegweit First Nation does not have an on-reserve school. Students from the Abegweit First Nation Band in Scotchfort attend either Mount Stewart Consolidated (K-8) or Morell Consolidated (K-8) and then attend Morell Regional High School (9-12) which have a high participation rate in the provincial lunch program offered by PEISFP. Students from the Abegweit First Nation Band in Scotchfort attend Westwood Primary (K-3), Elliot River Elementary (4-6), East Wiltshire Intermediate (7-9) and Bluefield High School (10-12). All of these schools have a high participation rate in the PEISFP lunch program.

All Indigenous students who attend public schools in the PSB or CSLF have access to breakfast/snack programs and the provincial lunch program. Through the creation of a new, long term funding agreement with PEISFP that will be established pursuant to this Action Plan, SDS will ensure that PEISFP commits to engagement with First Nations communities and stakeholders on school food programming, and how to best meet the needs of First Nations children attending Prince Edward Island public schools.

Section 6: Official Language Minority Communities (OLMCs)

Commission scolaire de langue française

There are six schools operated by the CSLF and all six participate in the provincial lunch program:

In the past school year, a pilot program was conducted at École Évangéline using PEISFP menus, recipes, and the online ordering system (used by all schools in the PSB and by École St. Augustin). Overall, the pilot was successful and École Évangéline will continue to operate in this manner moving forward. PEISFP hopes that similar models will be considered at the other four CSLF schools. These schools have received support in the form of menu reviews, feedback provision, and financial subsidies for the PWYC program.

New contract requirements for the 2024-2025 school year enhanced reporting and communication and addressed administrative challenges for improved efficiency within the Island's French first-language schools. There are ongoing discussions among EEY, PEISFP and CSLF to explore ways to best serve the meal needs of school-aged children within the CSLF.

Through the creation of a new, long term funding agreement with PEISFP that will be established pursuant to this Action Plan, SDS will ensure that PEISFP commits to ongoing engagement with CSLF on ways PEISFP can best support school food programming in the Island's French-language schools.

Section 7: Reporting

The Government of Prince Edward Island commits to providing interim results of the National School Food Program funding by April 30, 2025, based on the indicators identified in Section 3.
