LISD Child Nutrition is committed to safely providing nutritious meals for our students. We will continue to modify our meal service models and options throughout the school year to accommodate evolving district needs while prioritizing student safety. A variety of full meals, a la carte snacks, and beverages will be offered to students following the CDC recommended guidelines outlined below:
- CDC-approved facial masks for all front-of-house employees and wherever six feet social distancing is not possible.
- Enhanced COVID-19-specific safety training, including COVID-19 mitigation tactics, PPE protocol, and employee health monitoring resources. Training also includes guidance on increased sanitation measures and social distancing techniques to help ensure the safety of our students, school community, and team members.
- Use of approved industrial cleaning supplies and disposable service ware only, eliminating all self-service items including condiments, and offering pre-assembled/pre-packaged grab and go meal options
