Douglas County School Lunch Program

Link to Douglas County School System Monthly Menus:  Menus

The mission of the Douglas County School Nutrition Program is to provide, in a safe and pleasurable environment, meals and snacks that are acceptable to all students because of their high quality, nutrition, and affordability. We will contribute to healthy bodies and minds, enabling students to be responsible, productive students. 

All meals meet federal and state standards in terms of nutritive value and quantities served. A minimum of three types of meals are offered daily in the Elementary and Middle schools: a traditional meal including vegetables and school made breads, a contemporary meal such as pizza or hamburgers, and a light meal such as a salad bar.

Douglas County School Food Service will continue to monitor the school board approved student CHARGING POLICY which states: Elementary and Middle school students may accumulate a maximum of $5.00 in charges. This limit includes any charges for breakfast, lunch, and supplemental sales. This regulation will apply for adults as well as students.  After a $5.00 limit is reached, a student will be offered a meal alternate that consists of a sandwich and beverage. This regulation is to ensure that no child will go hungry while potential losses of school food service funds will be controlled.
