AISD Food Service is a national leader in sustainability and innovative food service with menus featuring local, sustainably-sourced, and clean label foods. The best way to support sustainable food systems at AISD is to dine at school. The district receives federal funding from the Department of Agriculture for each meal served to students. The more meals served, the more resources AISD can invest in food quality, sustaining local jobs, and contributing to the Texas economy.
