Nutrition Report - October 2022.pdf
Background: On December 21, 2017, the Board adopted Resolution 1718R-004 regarding the MPS School Nutrition Program and directed that updates on the implementation of the resolution be shared with the Board. In addition, on October 31, 2019, the Board adopted Resolution 1920R-002, also regarding the MPS School Nutrition Program, and directed that annual updates on breakfast participation be brought to the Board.

Despite staffing and food shortages, and nationwide supply chain issues, MPS continues to serve meals to all of our students. To accomplish this, we are working with our vendors to find substitute products to ensure the least possible impact of food shortages and supply chain issues.

In order to provide convenient and creative options for families, we continue to employ a "meals pick up" arrangement for virtual learning students at six central kitchens and meal delivery to highest poverty zip codes (53205, 53206, and 53233).

The October quarterly report regarding the School Nutrition Program is attached.
