School Child Nutrition Program (CNP) directors are expected to operate efficient, productive, and effective meals programs (Boehrer, 1993; Decker, et al. 1992; USDA, 2008). A variety of performance measures can be used to assess CNPs’ operational effectiveness. The purposes of this research were to investigate management and financial attributes perceived by foodservice directors of medium-size public school districts in the United States to impact performance measures for CNPs and investigate whether widely used standards for these performance measures, based on previous research, were relevant due to a variety of changes that had occurred in CNPs. Two electronic questionnaires were sent to the population of 2,534 foodservice directors in medium-sized school districts (enrollments between 2,500 and 10,000). Respondents (n = 740) assessed attitudes about and use of productivity measures in their programs, use of convenience foods and disposable student-use items, factors that affect meals per labor hour (MPLH), director’s demographic information, and district characteristics. A convenience sample (n = 34) of foodservice directors provided detailed information about revenues, expenses, participation, and staffing. This information was used to calculate current MPLH for onsite kitchens, production kitchens serving more than one site, and satellite sites and revenue per dollar expense (RPDE). Study results indicate increased usage of convenience foods and student-use disposable items. This is consistent with findings from previous studies that also indicated increased usage of convenience foods and disposables. Using a 5-point Likert-type scale, foodservice directors rated importance of 32 performance measures in evaluating their programs. These performance measures were grouped into nine factors: financial data (M =
