SPOTLIGHT
JCPS food rocks—and
the whole country
knows it
Food served in JCPS cafeterias
has received a lot of national attention.
For instance, a Facebook
page called School Meals That
Rock praised JCPS food service
operations for “plenty of fresh
herbs” and “scratch cooking.” The
HealthierUS School Challenge,
a U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA) program, has recognized
JCPS for menu planning and nutrition
education.
In addition, National Public Radio’s
popular Morning Edition program
included a four-minute feature
story last winter called “Kids Have
a Say in Louisville’s School Lunch
Menu.” It focused on groups of
JCPS students who “kid-test” new
recipes. The story included comments
from Jim Whaley, a local
chef who is helping JCPS make
meals both healthy and tasty. The
story also included comments
from Julia Bauscher, director of
JCPS School and Community
Nutrition Services. The national
School Nutrition Association
selected Bauscher as the 2012
School Foodservice Director of the
Year. ▼
