Justina Ledezma, director of food services, presented the 2025‑26 Food Services report and said the program recorded a 9% growth in breakfast and lunch participation year over year. She described operational approaches to meet demand, including an unlimited salad bar and a shared food table to manage portions and supply constraints.
Trustee Jeannie Kerr asked about meal counts; Trustee Jeanmarie Wolf asked whether a parental survey had been conducted. Ledezma said she would connect with the District English Learners Advisory Committee (DELAC) and consider a parent survey next year. Student trustee Andy Martinez added that student feedback noted improved quality and that "chicken sandwiches are popular and food overall is much better quality."
