HUTCHINSON, Kan. — There have been some minor changes to the food program that will start Monday at Buhler USD 313 from 11 a.m. to noon Monday through Friday through May 15. First of all, it's important to know this is for children from anywhere in the county.
"All students can come eat at Buhler," said Assistant Superintendent of Learning Instruction, Cindy Couchman. "We don't want any child to go hungry in Reno County. I know that a lot of our student population took advantage of 308's food program, because they weren't on spring break."
USD 308 is on Spring Break next week, so their meal program won't be working then. However, unlike was thought earlier, this will be for just kids 1 to 18.
"Since it's our first week, we are just going to have mostly cold options," said Donna Kleinschmidt, Assistant Director of Finance. "We're hoping that we can get a menu out to you for the next coming weeks."
It is going to be a grab and go lunch, like it has been in other area districts.
"We will bring it out to your vehicle," Kleinschmidt said. "You will have the option of a lunch and then also a next-day breakfast. We'll probably bring it out together."
The meals will be at Buhler High School and at Union Valley Elementary. Any child to be fed must be in the vehicle.
