District says it’s in response to multiple schools distributing food close to each other.

Working in collaboration with our neighboring elementary school districts, the Kern High School
District will be consolidating food services in areas where multiple schools are currently distributing
food. Beginning Tuesday, April 14, there will be no meal services at Centennial High School, East
High School, Highland High School, Foothill High School, Liberty High School, and Ridgeview High
School until further notice. In addition, meals will no longer be served on Fridays. Students will
receive 2 extra meals for a total of 4 meals during Thursday’s distribution.

In the weeks to come, grab and go breakfast and lunch meals will be provided to children ages 2 to
18, between the hours of 11:00 am and 12:30 pm on Monday through Thursday at the sites listed
