Why can t excess food be given to the students as seconds?
The food service works very closely with the schools to have them project a number of students eating lunch each day. Theoretically, there should be very little left over. If you give something to one student in the District it would be discriminatory not to make it available to all students. The District is not in a position to offer “seconds” to all students on a consistent basis. Some leftover food in District 11 Secondary Schools is given to a local Care and Shareâ„¢ agency.
