Summary
District nutrition services reported serving about 1.9 million meals in the year, a 36% increase in lunch and a 45% increase in breakfast compared with the prior non‑CEP year, and described a new warehouse and kitchen remodels.
Tolleson Union High School District nutrition services staff briefed the Governing Board on operations, meal counts and recent facility upgrades.
The nutrition director said the department served about 1,900,000 meals in the year covered by the report and that lunch participation rose 36% over the previous non‑CEP year, which the presentation said equates to roughly 1,900 more students receiving lunch daily; breakfast participation increased about 45%.
Staff also described a new warehouse building that includes a test kitchen and noted completion of the Tullison kitchen remodel, which staff said required collaboration across transportation, warehouse, business services and site kitchen staff. The department’s staffing figures were given as five full‑time district office employees, 79 site employees (23 full‑time, 56 part‑time) and 10 temporary staff.
