A typical agenda for that day begins at 8:30 a.m. and concludes at 1 p.m.  The day begins with an inside look at food service operations and the central kitchen, followed by the Warehouse, Print Shop and EdTec, and concludes with a visit to three school sites: elementary, junior, and high school.  Attendees are served a complimentary lunch at the end of the tour schedule.
