From the meeting
The food service director reported that the district's USDA Foods dollars have been about the same for the past three years, but rising food costs are depleting them faster each year. She said the fresh produce allotment was almost gone and some proteins were low, so more cash spending would be needed as the school year went on. The report also said menus were being replanned to use every commodity dollar available.
This was a budget and supply update, not a purchase award.
