Grand Prairie ISD expands student menu, launches Roving Chef and Flavors Fest plans
Summary
District Food Service reported rising student participation and outlined new offerings including build‑your‑own lunch lines, roving chefs, monthly education classes and a planned Flavors Fest food show.
Dustin Seymour, lead for Child Nutrition and Food Services, told the committee that "There has been a consistent increase in student participation." He described program expansions for 2025–26 that include build‑your‑own lunch options, new breakfast carts funded by reinvested SFE funds, a districtwide Roving Chef program and a Flavors Fest food show.
Seymour gave examples of new menu concepts planned for the year: pho, ramen, a cinnamon roll sandwich, smash burgers, chicken wings and pancakes, plus more homemade breakfast items and student taste testing. The program aims for five nutrition education classes per month and continued student surveys to guide offerings. The minutes record that SFE invested in breakfast carts so students can "eat on the go," and that the Roving Chef program will be available to all grade levels.
