Indian River County school cafeterias will serve more meals made fresh on campus this year instead of simply reheating food, according to District Superintendent David Moore. Students will see more build-your-own options as they walk through the cafeteria line, including salads and tacos.
About 70 percent of Indian River County students qualify for free or reduced-price meals, Moore said. The menu changes come at the direct response of students who said they wanted fresher options.
The district is investing in the fresher cafeteria meals as part of the new academic year.
