School menu items may change due to supply chain issues

September 16, 2021

To Our School District Families:

As many of you are already aware, our nation is experiencing major supply chain issues, especially in the food service industry. Most all of our local food distributors are also experiencing driver shortages, and have cut back their delivery routes drastically.

Because of this, only one food distributor is servicing our school district this year. That distributor is experiencing product shortages due to all of Fulton and Montgomery County schools getting their food from the one source, as well as the products not arriving from the manufacturers.

This is to let you know that due to these facts we are being shorted many products, and aren’t aware of it until the truck arrives. There are going to be frequent menu changes. Please know that students will not always be receiving the items that were published on the menus. Menu changes will be posted on our website weekly.

This is an unfortunate circumstance of these challenging times and I apologize for the inconvenience, and thank you in advance for your understanding!

Sincerely,
Lauri Broady
Director of School Nutrition
