Offer vs Serve Policy:

Offer vs Serve provision of the school lunch program means students are offered five food components each day from within the federally-required traditional lunch pattern. Spencerville Local School offers this to students in grades K-12. All students are encouraged to take all items offered on the meal. However, under Offer vs Serve, students need only take a minimum of three of the five food components offered one of which must be a fruit or a vegetable component.  Offer Vs. Serve allows students to refuse a food item they do not like, encourages freedom of choice, and helps to eliminate waste.
