ASB Badge #12 PowerPoint

Pdf Summary

Student stores are part of the Career and Technical Education (CTE) program and function as a “working lab” for advanced marketing students. They operate under ASB law and can generate revenue for the ASB, with profit distribution determined by the school constitution. Stores should maintain a positive relationship with district food service, ideally purchasing from it and other vendors so food sales do not conflict.<br /><br />Since July 1, 2014, all food sold to students on school grounds during the restricted hours must meet federal “Smart Snacks” nutrition standards. District healthy nutrition policies provide guidance for compliance.<br /><br />Student stores may be supervised by an adult advisor or, in smaller schools, by the marketing teacher. A student store manual is recommended to train students, create consistency, and support leadership and decision-making. Students should help choose healthy products, vendors, pricing, and items likely to sell.<br /><br />Operational controls include: an adult supervisor present at all times; at least two people working when the store is open; no eating, drinking, or free food for workers; separate cash drawers and duties; and food handler cards if serving prepared food. Cash handling must follow strict procedures, including end-of-shift counts, till sheets, supervisor review, and submission of sales reports to the ASB bookkeeper. Security measures such as cameras, controlled passwords, and a restricted-use area are recommended.<br /><br />The student store’s change fund is issued by the district Business Office from the ASB general ledger, stored in the safe, and returned at year-end. Inventory should be physically counted at the start and end of the school year and periodically during the year. Records are public records and must be retained according to WA State rules.
