Director Bob Leupold unsure where the blame goes for the latest undercooked chicken incident at Noyes Elementary School.
UPDATED: 3:15 P.M. Sudbury Board of Health Director Bob Leupold says Sudbury Public Schools is "ahead of the curve" when it comes to its cafeterias. An outside consultant makes monthly visits to ensure everything is up to par, something most school districts don't have, he said. And because of this, Leupold is scratching his head today after a report of undercooked chicken being served at Noyes Elementary School surfaced yesterday. "It's hard to believe this happened again after last year," he says. The same incident happened at Noyes and Nixon Elementary School a year ago, and Superintendent Anne Wilson changed the food service provider from Chartwells to Whitsons. Leupold says he was contacted shortly after the report of the latest …

No students reported ill as of Friday.
Sudbury Public Schools Superintendent Anne Wilson announced during Wednesday's School Committee meeting that students at Nixon Elementary School had been served undercooked chicken strips at lunch that day. Robert Leupold, health director for the Sudbury Board of Health, was notified immediately by school officials and an investigation began, Wilson said. Leupold went on to contact the state's health department, who then advised parents that the incubation period for bacteria in chicken could take anywhere from six hours to five days and to monitor their children for stomach and/or intestinal problems. Both Leupold and Wilson said no child has been reported sick. "This is totally unacceptable," Committee member Lisa Gutch said at the …
