What Does "Offer Versus Serve" Mean?
The Mead School District believes in the importance of offering menus with a variety of choices to students. Menus are planned to meet the nutrient standards for growing students and include the Entrée (listed first on the menu), Side Dishes, and a variety of (fluid) Milk flavors. "Offer versus Serve" is a system designed to reduce food waste and give students greater flexibility in choice.
Students are encouraged to take all foods on the menu and must take an entrée, but may decline up to any two other items at lunch (or one item at breakfast) from the menu. All selected items will be served in full portions. If a student wishes to decline an item but would like a smaller portion he/she may ask for a "taste" of the declined item. Condiments are not considered or counted food items and may be served as appropriate accompaniments to the menu.
