Borden Dairy is closing two plants that produce cafeteria milk jugs for schools in four states. More than 100 Alabama school systems must now find a new lunchroom milk supplier. Learn more in the video above.
“We’ve gotten through a lot. We can get through this,” said Fairfield City Schools nutrition director Gina Shell.
The Alabama Department of Education said up to 100 school districts in the state are being impacted by the plant closure. And if school systems don’t serve milk, they could potentially lose federal lunch funding reimbursement if not for waivers.
