Thank you to all
public school districts who responded to the Unpaid Student Meal Charges survey
in March. The findings are now available in the Unpaid Student Meal Charges report. The report will be shared with stakeholder
groups in the coming weeks.
Distributor Selection Deadline
The deadline for sponsors to complete distributor selection for
2018-19 is quickly approaching. Make
your selection in the Cyber-Linked Interactive Child Nutrition System (CLiCS 1)
