One thing I've been trying to get from the food services department at CCUSD is a listing of the nutritional information for as much of the food served as possible - even just the prepackaged stuff which should come with a label with all of this information already calculated. LAUSD provides this information on a handy-dandy downloadable pdf and I think all parents in our district should be able to see this information including: calories, fat, sodium, and selected vitamins and minerals for the food their kids are served. I have a little of this information that was provided to me in the spring but have been asking and waiting since then to see it for all the meals.
I'm going to be attending the CCUSD board meeting on December 14th to ask for support from the board to prioritize this request to the food services director so that she can spend the time necessary to compile this information. She states that more than 200 labor hours would be required to fulfill this request. Here's a bit of what was provided to me I'd like to share with you. If you think more nutritional information about the food served at the elementary school cafeterias would be helpful please let me, the school board (boardmembersATccusd.org) and Julie Garcia (garciajATdistrict.ccusd.k12.ca.us) know.
Thanks!
