While it was unclear whether or not this was due to supply shortages, it was a sign of how school kitchens are being run differently due to shortages in staff and supplies. Cherry Creek School District is facing a shortage of kitchen staff workers, yet despite this shortage and an increase in students needing meals, every student that has needed a meal has been able to get one. “I’ve yet to have anybody say that they weren’t able to get a meal,” said Kim Kilgore, Director of Food and Nutrition for Cherry Creek School District.
