JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Duval County Public Schools ended curbside meal service at 29 public schools Monday due to a lack of interest, the school district announced on its blog.
With many families choosing to have their students learn from home during the pandemic, the school district has been providing curbside meal service since the school year began. But 29 of those schools have seen low participation, 11 of them with no turnout whatsoever.
