School systems across the state are scrambling to find a new milk vendor after Borden Dairy Production closes two of their facilities.
The email many school districts saw in their inbox last month from Borden was tough to read. Borden said milk delivery from their facilities would stop. Reaction was the same for Selma City Schools and Elmore County Schools.
“Its been a struggle from March of 2020 with food. There’s still shortages to date,” said Aelia Adams, Selma City Schools Nutrition Program director. Half of the more than 11,000 students at Elmore County Schools eat school meals and the district is working with Tru Moo, a milk brand that costs three times more than Borden, making a big dent in the reimbursements the system gets from the USDA.
Nutrition directors say the more a food item changes, the less likely children will eat, potentially hindering learning potential.
