Families were notified earlier in the week of the changes such as no or “very few” hot items along will all meals coming pre-packaged, grab-and-go style.

Other adjustments include:

  • One lunch entree, seven are offered under standard service
  • One breakfast entree, six are offered under standard service
  • No garden bar
  • No ala carte items at breakfast or lunch
  • Two cashier lines, three lines are available under standard service
  • Students much select a fully reimbursable meal

The high school is the only school within the district experiencing such changes, according to the district spokesperson.
