Serving up options: Round Rock ISD works to incorporate healthy lunch choices

Staff at Round Rock ISD said they've heard increased interest from parents and students about vegetarian options for school lunches. Now, they're making sure meals are exciting and appetizing.

ROUND ROCK, Texas — Yana Koleva, the interim food service director for Round Rock ISD, said the district has offered vegetarian options for a while now. 

However, she said interest has spiked from parents and students recently. 

"We're here to serve our community and students, so we try to incorporate as many [options] as we can into our menus," Koleva said. 

She said students can find vegetarian options in "almost every line in [the] cafeterias."

"We try to make it as fun as possible," she said, explaining they offer a lot more than just a side salad or a fruit cup. "We try to look at what the students are wanting nowadays because they're definitely exposed to a lot of different food -- and they're foodies. They want good quality and good variety."

Koleva said the district gives kids the option to customize their meals, meaning there are more vegetarian choices.
