Project School Nutrition consults with other districts to find food students love that is compliant and affordable.

CANTON, Ohio — On any given day, Canton Local Schools could be responsible for feeding 1,700 students, and thanks to the district’s school nutrition director, more and more of those students want to eat at school.“I’m really on a mission to elevate the school nutrition profession, which at the end of the day, makes an impact in schools,” she said.

“So many people do not realize that school nutrition is like a business in itself. It’s a non-profit. We cannot make money out of our program. We only receive revenue when school is in session and we are receiving meals,” she said. “So there’s a lot of nuances when it comes into budgeting. It means we need to serve as many meals as possible, but we need to do it within a budget, and we need to be very savvy on how we are purchasing.

“The pandemic really shook everything, and over the last couple of years, we really have seen a trend moving upwards here, especially at our elementary and middle school; we’ve seen more and more of a trend, and we are hoping that carries over as those kids move into the high school,” he said. “It’s almost a restaurant-like experience.”
