Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):


Utilizing data regarding the average cook hours per work day and data provided by the WVDE Office of Child Nutrition regarding the number of equivalent meals served statewide during the 2017-18 school year, county boards of education would be required to employ 2,691.97 FTE of cooks statewide to comply with the average of 14.67 Meals Per Cook Hour Requirement. After comparison of the number of cooks currently employed by county against the number required by county, an additional 509.86 FTE of cooks would need to be hired statewide to be in full compliance. The estimated cost for the additional 509.86 positions is $18,465,243. That estimates includes the cost of salaries and fringe benefits (fixed charges, retirement and PEIA). The full cost of the additional required cook positions would be borne by the county boards of education since the service personnel allowances under the PSSP are not being increased.
