Comprised of individuals representing public school districts from across the United States, this council of segment leaders is focused on addressing critical issues impacting the K-12 community. Council members are working diligently to address key topics including changing USDA nutritional regulations, working more collaboratively with suppliers, finding solutions in hiring, training, and retaining talent, and meeting the changing demands of Gen Alpha.
