How does BUSD decide what kind of food will be served?
BUSD strives to create a set of menus and meals that are healthy, seasonal, delicious, and reflective of the ethnic diversity of the community as a whole (including culturally appropriate vegetarian and vegan meals). BUSD works within budget constraints and tries to balance student preferences and tastes with the nutritional standards set by the state and federal government. To the greatest extent possible, BUSD will use ingredients from local, sustainable farms.
