WV School Food Programs To Share $2 Million
WEST VIRGINIA....
As part of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 signed into law earlier this month by President Barack Obama, West Virginia public school food programs are expected to share about $2 million in federal funding to improve the quality of school lunches. Kanawha County schools child nutrition director Gary Cochran says the funding will give schools room to experiment with better quality lunch items.
Schools also can buy shredders and other smaller kitchen appliances that will help cooks create more varieties of dishes.
