Board hears plan to add grab-and-go breakfast carts to boost high-school participation
Summary
District staff told the board they plan mobile 'grab-and-go' breakfast carts at main high-school entrances to make breakfast easier for students on the way to class, with hopes to expand to the middle school if successful.
Board members heard a proposal to increase breakfast participation by adding mobile 'grab-and-go' carts at high-school entrances. "We're hoping to add a couple mobile carts so that it's kind of a grab and go breakfast, at both main entrances so that students who want to go to the locker, get to class on time ... can also still eat breakfast and be a part of the free breakfast program," the superintendent said.
Members discussed practical issues such as bus arrival times and items appropriate for quick service; one member suggested including portable items like protein bars to avoid classroom mess concerns. The superintendent said staff will pilot the approach at the high school and, if successful, consider bringing mobile carts to the middle school.
