Food Service Updates
Kim shared a food service update prepared by Aaron Bradford. (see Attached) Discussion occurred regarding the success we’ve had to date increasing breakfast participation through our increased efforts to communicate with students and families. Continued work is needed to inform people that students who qualify for reduced priced lunch can receive free breakfast. It was also suggested that we help families understand that it their situation changes at any time during the school year they are allowed to reapply for assistance. Perhaps we can add this note to low lunch balance notifications.
