The USD 445 Board of Education receives an update on the continued growth and change of the Child Nutrition program. Director Casey Worden says a big change was in the language from calling it food service to child nutrition.

One change that was made was transitioning from place and bake to speed scratch cooking. Worden says students now have more freedom of choice and can serve themselves picking which foods they want to eat.

Worden says the department has received recognition locally, statewide and nationally including receiving the Kansans Can Best Practice – Serve Local Foods Award.
