Escambia School Cafeterias Named Protectors Of The Environment

February 27, 2012

The Emerald Coast Utilities Authority has presented the “Protector of the Environment” (POE) Award to the Escambia County School Board’s cafeteria operations. This one of-a-kind initiative recognized the school system’s effort to promote a positive safe working and clean eating environment through the ECUA’s Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) and backflow prevention programs.

“The District is honored to receive the Protector of the Environment award. The recognition clearly illustrates the collective team effort of many departments within the District that are actively engaged in conscientious environmentally appropriate approaches to doing business. We’re proud to be a part of Escambia County’s earth friendly team,” said Assistant Superintendent of Operations Shawn Dennis.

The Protector of the Environment Award recognizes organizations that train their employees on “best management practices,” participate in scheduled 90-day cleanliness inspections, have no FOG or Backflow violations, and no warnings within a one-year period.
