School Nutrition
The Bulloch County School Nutrition Program is committed to serving nutritious, well balanced meals to students daily. We strive to help build healthy children ready to learn.
The school nutrition program participates in the National School Lunch Program, National School Breakfast Program and Seamless Summer Program. All programs are regulated and funded by the United States Department of Agriculture with the School and Community Nutrition Unit of the Georgia Department of Education overseeing the program administration.
Students are provided menus with choices for breakfast and lunch in all schools regardless of grade structure. A breakfast cereal line and hot food bar are offered daily. Middle and high school students are offered such choices as grill items, chef salads, pizza, cold sandwiches, and the traditional hot meals for lunch. Elementary students can choose between a hot line, sandwich line, or salad daily. Menus for the month are posted on the school district’s website and published weekly in the Statesboro Herald.
We use an offer-versus-serve method for all students. This means our food service staff will offer students food items, but students are allowed to refuse any food items they do not want. The offer-versus-serve method reduces our food costs by decreasing waste, yet the meal qualifies for reimbursement through the National School Lunch and National School Breakfast programs.
