Parent and student surveys show demand for fresher meals, better menu visibility
Summary
Spring 2026 survey responses collected by the Task Force show parents want fresher, less-processed meals and improved menu communication; students listed favorites such as chicken strips, build-your-own bowls and smoothies and requested longer lunch times.
The Task Force reviewed spring 2026 survey responses from parents and students. Multiple parents asked for fresher, cooked-from-scratch options, more fresh fruits and vegetables, and better visibility of the school menu. Several parents said they do not regularly see the menu and suggested the district share menus more widely with families.
Student responses (Spartans survey) listed items students want—chicken strips, build-your-own bowls, smoothies, mac and cheese and other popular items—and noted service issues such as inconsistent menu awareness and requests for longer lunch times. The Task Force discussed using survey feedback to guide menu planning and marketing, including posting links to the Smart Snacks calculator online.
