EHS to facility to check status of eliminating rodents from the facility dry stores area. Evidence of rodents still present. Cleaning has been done and new clear plastic tubs in place to put items like cereal, etc. as suggested with no evidence of rodents in tubs. Additional suggestions include removing bottom shelf from in place shelving and obtaining good sturdy racks for large cans. New pest control report not available - please send copy after next visit by certified pest operator. Other items not checked.
- Light Bulbs Protective Shielding (repeated violation)
Observation: Some lights with no covers and one with broken cover.
Correction: Replace covers.
- Physical Facilities in Good Repair (repeated violation)
Observation: Peeling paint in dish room.
Correction: Maintenance present states repair planned within next two weeks.
- Pests - Controlling Pests* (repeated violation)
Observation: Droppings begin under electric panel boxes and continue by the wall around the corner and under the shelving. Bottom shelving close to floor and very difficult to clean under - even with previously obtained new cleaning equipment.
Correction: Suggest removing bottom shelf (ensure shelving will still be stable) and obtain good quality "can racks" for 6 - 10 large cans. Racks will allow for better storage or more cans and free up remaining shelving for other items. Removal of bottom shelf will make cleaning under shelving easy to do. Ensure all areas where rodent droppings (and urine that can't be seen without special lighting) is cleaned with hot soapy water with bleach. Please provide copy of next pest control report and update EHS with status of shelving and pest. Follow up in 1 month. Some small holes in floor where conduits etc. have gone through cement - fill with steel wool.

Scheduled date for correcting peeling paint etc. pending - and supervisor will call back with date.
- Food - Miscellaneous Sources of Contamination (repeated violation)
Observation: Kitchen ceiling with badly peeling paint - not in the areas most likely to get into the food, but food / dish contamination possible.
Correction: Ensure peeling paint is removed and ceiling resurfaced / when kitchen is closed.
- Cooling, Heating, and Holding Capacities (repeated violation)
Observation: School with walk in refrigerator and milk box for refrigeration. Milk boxes designed and used to hold milk and open during meals for children to obtain cartons of milk - not for regular food storage. Walk in refrigerator crowded with floor space filled with stacks of crates of milk and juice. Items most be moved to access back shelving.
Correction: Suggest obtaining at least one additional refrigerator both to keep from overcrowding walk in refrigerator and to have an additional source of refrigeration is walk in unit needs maintenance.
- Light Bulbs Protective Shielding (repeated violation)
Observation: Two lights with no covers - other lights clean, but some debris present.
Correction: Cover uncovered lights - clean covers with debris.

Observation: Mouse droppings noted throughout the dry storeroom on the floor where difficult to access under the shelving, and on the shelving. Hole noted in ceiling - per manager had been corrected in the past. Some holes in ceiling and on wall where old equipment was located.
Correction: *Ensure all cans are wiped before opened. Discard any food item in bags or boxes with evidence of contact with mice - dark spots, droppings, gnaw marks, holes, food debris around containers.

Shelving is old wooden shelving - with bottom boards removed as previously suggested to make cleaning easier. Shelving sturdy and cleanable - but with areas that are difficult to access.

Overall good handwashing, glove use, food storage and labeling, clean well organized facility with sanitizer in place at 200 ppm Cl and used. Noted: Out of order walk in refrigerator would be considered an imminent health hazard and result in closure without ability to have food storage and delivery from nearby school. Suggest taking food temperatures with calibrated, sanitized food thermometer before beginning food preparation for the day, and no less than every 4 hours to ensure good holding temperatures, as well as other representative food temperatures, such as cooking, reheating, cooling, hot holding and food delivery. New program in place for breakfast to be delivered to classrooms for additional class time. Coolers and carriers for hot food stored in dining area. Currently cleaned on return and then loaded for use the next day. If possible, food containers should be stored where they are not accessible to the public. If not then suggest wiping with sanitizer each day before loading for classrooms. Do not suggest storage in dry storeroom.

Overall excellent sanitation. Noted good handwashing, good glove use, good food temperatures, storage and labeling. Noted, lack of handwashing sink in dishroom means staff must leave room, go to back of kitchen to wash hands between handling soiled dishes, and clean dishes and if children need assistance while dishwashing is being done. Dining room ceiling with tiles missing and stained tiles due to leaking roof. Repair pending good weather, and per principal, during heavy rains tables are moved so no children/food is under any leaks.
- Cooling, Heating, and Holding Capacities (repeated violation)
Observation: -Walk in freezer completely full with boxes stacked on crates in center isle making access to food on shelves impossible without taking food out of unit.
-Walk in refrigerator crowded with boxes of food stacked on crates in front of shelving. Food storage to prevent cross contamination good today, but difficult to do properly with types and amount of food stored in unit.
Correction: Walk in refrigerator is the only refrigerator in kitchen except for milk box used to hold milk during the meal period and not meant as a storage unit. With additional fresh produce and other food items, additional refrigerated space needed for adequate storage. Freezer space is overcrowded. To correct overcrowded *reduce amount / type of food ordered (more food is delivered than is needed during the time until next delivery).
- Critical: Handwashing Lavatory*
Observation: There is no handwashing sink in the dishwashing room, preventing routine handwashing by food workers.
Correction: Install an additional handwashing sink in the dishwashing room, to allow convenient use by food workers. Prior to installing additional plumbing fixtures the permit holder must apply and gain approval through the necessary regulatory agencies.
- Physical Facilities - Cleaning Frequency and Restrictions
Observation: Noted old droppings under dry storeroom shelving and on bottom shelving. Area under dishwashing counter with build up noted. Area difficult to access due to piping run along the floor.
