Matzie: Nearly $23,000 secured for Aliquippa Junior/Senior High School cafeteria equipment

Rep. Robert F. Matzie    March 27, 2025 | 2:23 PM

ALIQUIPPA, March 27 – A food service grant of $22,252 from the Pennsylvania Department of Education will allow Aliquippa Junior/Senior High School to purchase a new electric tilt skillet for the school cafeteria, state Rep. Rob Matzie announced today.

Matzie, who is chairman of the PA House Majority Caucus, said the new equipment will mean greater efficiency, lower costs, and quicker service for students.

“Electric tilt skillets are an excellent investment for school cafeterias because they allow workers to cook large batches of food more efficiently,” Matzie said. “That lowers school utility bills, saves taxpayer dollars and helps staff serve students more quickly. It’s good to see these dollars coming back to Aliquippa schools for a practical food service upgrade.”

The funding – part of a package of $332,000 in Food Service Equipment grants awarded to 12 schools statewide – comes from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The grant funding is available to schools that participate in the National School Lunch Program.
