SCHOOL LUNCH PRICES
School lunch prices will remain
the same as last year. Prices
are $2.25 at elementary schools
and $2.50 at middle and high
schools. An adult lunch is
$3.00 for county employees and
staff and $3.25 for guests. Holiday lunches
are $5.00.
Breakfast prices are $1.50 for
students at elementary, middle
and high schools, and a la carte
items are available as well.
Employees and visitors will pay
a la carte for breakfast items.
More than 16,900 meals are
prepared daily for students, and
parents are encouraged to take
advantage of a computerized
system that allows parents to
pay for their child’s school
meals in advance. The system
also tracks the food their child
is purchasing. More information
regarding procedures will be
shared by each school.
The food service department
continues to focus on ways to
improve its meals with new menus
developed by the food service
staff.
This year the schools will
use zero-trans fat items as well
as zero-trans fat oil in its
products.
Food Services Manager James Griffith said that his
department continues to provide
the latest healthy choices that
meet all state department and
USDA requirements as well as
making available a variety of
a la carte items to students,
teachers and employees.
“Our focus is to improve food
quality, food
preparation, increase promotions
for school lunch and school
breakfast week, and marketing
and merchandising," said
Griffith. “This coupled with
our new wellness policy that
will be in place, will offer
many challenges for the upcoming
school year.”
"Also, with a new wellness
coordinator on board, we will
continue to emphasize good
nutrition choices as well as
nutrition education and physical
activity," adds Griffith.
"We are developing a web
page, too, that will be helpful to
parents with links to
nutritional information."
Williamson County cafeterias
are licensed by the Tennessee
Department of Health and
inspected twice annually by the
same agency. Health department
scores are rated on a scale of
100. The average sanitation
score in Williamson County
Schools is 96.
