Due to manufacturing and distribution issues caused by the COVID pandemic, school districts across the country continue to experience shortages of planned food items. We have been adjusting meals and rearranging menus to continue to provide our students with the best possible substitutes. We are working closely with the US Dept. of Agriculture and food companies to continue to provide students with nutritious foods despite shortages of ingredients and labor.
