As school foodservice programs are making preparations to return to normal service and menus, we are facing unprecedented issues with the supply chain that will undoubtedly cause us to alter our posted menus with little to no notice.

We are working very closely with our distributors and manufacturers to secure both the food and supply items needed to support our program. However, the availability of these items has been changing on a daily basis.

While it is our intention to serve the posted menu every day at every school, supply issues will not make this possible throughout this school year until the supply chain issues are rectified.

When changes to the posted school menu become necessary, we will attempt to substitute the scheduled menu item with another that is as similar as possible, to the extent we are able to do so, based on the products we are able to receive.
