Susan Wilson, superintendent of Blue Ridge schools, says that the participation in the Blue Ridge lunch program has decreased in recent years. Wilson indicates that she and the food service director performed an extensive evaluation of the school lunch program.

 

 

The Blue Ridge school district for years have operated their own cafeteria program. The misnomer of school lunches did not apply to the Blue Ridge school lunches. Due to federal regulations, the cafeteria program had to start to incorporate already prepared food service. 

 

 

Wilson hopes they can increase school lunch participation while also staying in step with the federal guidelines.
