Summary
Lawton Public Schools said every site now offers a free after-school 'third meal' and that the district is working with Sodexo to improve meal quality; staff tasting and a parent food survey will inform changes.
Lawton Public Schools told listeners that all sites in the district are offering a free after-school meal—referred to on the podcast as a "third meal"—so students can get a supper meal after school.
The superintendent said the intention is to feed more students and make meals accessible: "a meal after school is free... and the ideal is that after school, you can go in and pick up a meal." He described ongoing work with the district's food vendor, Sodexo, and said staff feedback will help improve food quality: "If the staff is eating, then they're gonna tell us how the food is." The district plans to send a survey to collect feedback from families about food in school buildings.
The podcast also promoted a district "future chef" event next Friday (the 20th) and other student activities. Listeners were directed to the district website and an email address for questions about programs and services.
