This renewal extends the services established under last year’s agreement, continuing LunchAssist’s expertise into the 2025–26 school year. Their support will strengthen the District’s readiness for administrative reviews while ensuring the Child Nutrition Program—including both breakfast and lunch services—remains aligned with USDA, state, and local requirements in areas such as meal pattern compliance, production records, and procurement standards.
