janney ran out of food yesterday

Anonymous
Anyone else's kids come home with this report?
2/3 of my kids reported that they paid for lunch yesterday but only got a small side salad.
No pizza or fruit because they "ran out".
They came home starving.

New food service vendor is doing GREAT, I see.

At least they served them healthy food.

Some of them. Ideally a food service vendor will serve all the kids, not just 2/3 of them.

I usually pack my kids' food but last year we were busy/we slacked and here and there used the school food. after reading this summer about the old vendor I felt bad, after reading about the new vendor I felt even made sure my kids bring their lunch from day one.

Another DCPS parent who plans on packing lunch every day this year.

Nice. The contractor probably doesn't get paid per meal. This is a great way to incentivize all the rich Janney parents to send their own lunch to school, while the contractor does very little and rakes in the dough. Ka-ching.

That's not the principal's fault, but rather the contractor's. However, the principal should communicate about this to the school community.

I'm doing the exact opposite this year. The choices actually sound appealing rather than what the old contractor served, and my kid so far has been enjoying it. I'm definitely enjoying not packing lunch and having to wash everything when he comes back home.

Is that true (that they don't get paid according to how many meals they serve)? If so, it's outrageous and can only be a bad incentive.

You'd think they would have food for the rest of the week and could pull tomorrows lunch to serve and replace that tonight vs. letting kids eat lettuce and milk. Did they at least give them dressing?
