The term, "cost of operation," shall be defined as actual cost incurred in the purchase and preparation of food, the salaries of all personnel directly engaged in providing food services, and the cost of non-food supplies as outlined under standards adopted by the State Board of Education. Personnel shall be defined as Food Service Supervisors or Directors, bookkeepers directly engaged in food service record keeping, and those persons directly involved in preparing and serving food. Provided that food service personnel shall be paid from the funds of food services only for services rendered in behalf of lunch room services. Any cost incurred in the provisions and maintenance of school food services over and beyond the "cost of operation" as defined in this Section shall be included in the budget request filed annually by County and City Boards of Education with Boards of County Commissioners. It shall not be mandatory that the provisions of G.S. 115-52 and 143-129 be complied with in the purchase of supplies and food for such school food services."
