Food services preview HealthyPro rollout, fruit-and-vegetable funding and new meal application
Summary
District food-service staff said summer meals ran smoothly, the district expects to use HealthyPro for production records and menus, the fruit-and-vegetable program will start in September, and a combined meal/free-and-reduced application (Smead) will be used this year.
Food service staff reported the district's summer meal program served many summer-school participants and some additional children, and that the district is working to adopt HealthyPro (through US Foods) to manage production records, menus and nutritionals for parents online. "We are getting HealthyPro, the computer program, hopefully through US Foods," the staff member said.
Staff also said the district was approved for the federal fruit-and-vegetable program and plans to start it in September, moving earlier than prior years because leftover funds were available. The district will introduce a new combined meal and free-and-reduced application called Smead to simplify the process for families.
