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?

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Janney gets everything.

Yay DCPS! Another milestone in a long line of failures.

Lol. They got lettuce. Nothing but lettuce.

(and milk).


I packed lunches today.

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

At least they served them healthy food.

New food service vendor is doing GREAT, I see.

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.
