Background:
|
School Nutrition Services remained focused on serving students with healthful, nutritious meals throughout the 2022-23 school year. Approximately 11.4 million meals have been served during the 2022-23 fiscal year.
School Nutrition Services proudly participates in the USDA’s Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP). During the 2022–23 school year, 81 MPS schools were awarded this grant, totaling $2,020,152.
School Nutrition Services is participating in the Food Justice Task Force to develop plans to address community concerns. A social media campaign is being developed in collaboration with the Food Justice Task Force, School Nutrition Services, Human Resources, and Communications and Marketing to expand the recruitment of nutrition staff. School Nutrition Services has implemented a new menu writing process involving a team approach with student feedback. Five new recipes were incorporated into the menus after food taste testing with students.
During the 2022–23 school year, 10 schools were transitioned from a pre-pack to a production model kitchen, increasing the total number of production kitchens to 31.
School Nutrition Services has contracted with a kitchen consultant to develop a report that prioritizes immediate equipment replacement needs and provides a long-term equipment replacement plan.
