With increased demand for breakfast and lunch since students have returned to in-person school, food services in some school districts are being pushed to the limit.

The guide for schools and their foodservice providers includes information on the farm to fork movement and Indiana Farmers who are interested in getting involved.

Indiana Grown is working with three partners on a local food resource guide school that school food service directors will be able to consult to make more informed purchasing decisions.

The school board approved guidelines Monday for negative school lunch balances, one of the funds the State Board of Accounts found in its audit to have more than $414,000 misappropriated.

Rep. Rokita, former Indiana secretary of state, proposed federal legislation last month that would tighten eligibility for free school lunch programs across the country.

Republican Todd Rokita, who represents Indiana's 4th district, would tighten eligibility requirements that allow high-poverty schools to take full advantage of free and reduced lunch programs.
