Changes are coming to school lunches in Odessa. A federal program that provides lunches has been around since World War II. It has undergone significant changes over the years, particularly in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Details about the program's history and current changes are available. This year, the rules are being revised. Further information about these changes can be found through the USDA and local school districts, including what this means for lunch options in Odessa schools.
