KSDE Child Nutrition and Wellness will be hosting an in-person “Baking Boot Camp” trainings, 8:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m., on March 16 -17, in Salina.
"It's a little extra work, but it makes the food so much better," says Wendi Baldwin, director of food service for Jayhawk USD 346, when discussing using local products in the district's recipes.
In 2025, the district released a request for proposal (RFP) for locally grown foods for the School Nutrition Program's 2025-2026 program year. Freedom Farms, a Fort Scott-based regenerative farm, contracted with USD 346 to sell locally grown, raw chicken.
A two-day orientation for school nutrition program directors (including authorized representatives and food service directors) will be Feb. 24-25, in Hays.
