Lancaster ISD reports about 80,260 student meals served in February; menu changes guided by student surveys

Dr. James Kimbro presented the district’s child‑nutrition report for February and said the program served approximately 80,260 meals over 18 serving days. He said participation rose because February was a more complete month with more full school days.

Kimbro outlined program practices: biweekly meetings with the food‑service management company (FSMC) focused on compliance with Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) rules, promotion of the program to boost participation, and use of student surveys to identify menu items students prefer or dislike. He said the menu rotates every three weeks and that the district will ask vendors to change premade items that do not meet taste or quality expectations.

No board action was recorded on the child‑nutrition item during the work session.
