Grand County Schools has released a statement to address recent social media posts concerning food service within the district. While the district noted they do not normally respond to social media, they provided information for the sake of transparency regarding food quality and safety.
In response to concerns over the quality of milk being served, officials stated that the temperature of all refrigeration containers has been double checked and is in compliance with standards.
The district has reached out to its supplier to request a check on temperature logs for transportation vehicles. Regarding food safety, officials said expiration dates are routinely checked and any expired products are immediately discarded.
Cafeteria managers have been reminded to trade out any served product that a child feels is below consumption standards. Additionally, the district noted that they are routinely inspected by the health department and receive A ratings.
Plans are being finalized to bring the High School Cafeteria back online to improve food quality for high school students, as food is currently prepared and transported.
Grand County parents and guardians are invited to eat with their students to observe the Food Service Program. The district stated they will continue working to provide nutritious meals at a reasonable cost.
