Child Nutrition Program

Here at IDEA, we believe eating well and exercise lead to healthy college ready students.

Our vision is to be the exemplar school food service program in the nation.

Our mission is to provide our students the best meals & service possible by replicating compliant operations, developing our teams, and striking the right balance in standardization, efficiency and innovation.

Welcome! Our department leads the way in making IDEA Public Schools the healthiest school district in the nation. Comprised of nearly 1,000 employees, our campus teams prepare & serve nutritious meals to around 80,000 IDEA scholars every school day.

The programs we offer are under the guidelines and policies set forth by the United States Department of Agriculture and state agencies that monitor compliance. Please see our resources below.

The Child Nutrition Program (CNP) at IDEA Public Schools has qualified to participate in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) in States of Texas, Louisiana, Florida and Ohio. This reduces burdens for both families and school administrators and helps ensure that ALL students are able to receive free, nutritious breakfasts and lunches each and every day. Make sure you child comes to school with an appetite for our delicious and healthy meals!
