Anthony ISD introduces FFVP and CACFP dinner program to trustees
Summary
Nutrition Director Tisha Villalva presented the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program and a CACFP dinner program to trustees. Trustees asked clarifying questions about the dinner program and examples of "exotic fruit."
Anthony Independent School District staff introduced two new nutrition programs at the Sept. 17 meeting: the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP) and a Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) dinner program.
Nutrition Director Tisha Villalva presented the programs to trustees at 6:38 PM. Trustee Maria Garcia asked for clarification about how the CACFP dinner program will operate; Board President Angel Cuellar asked what the board should consider to qualify as "exotic fruit" for FFVP menu planning. The minutes record those clarification requests but do not include staff responses or program budget figures.
The CACFP dinner program will expand meal offerings, and the FFVP brings additional fruit and vegetable servings during the school day. The minutes indicate staff introduced the programs and fielded questions but do not record public comment or vote on implementation at this meeting.
