We currently experiencing a Milk carton shortage that is being felt nationwide. The projection of this shortage is to be at least until the beginning of the calendar year and possibly longer. As a result, our Milk supplier to us here at JCSD is cutting our allotted cartons by 40%. To be clear, this is a carton shortage, not a Milk shortage.
To navigate the shortage, we are directing our entire allotment of cartoned Milk to the elementary schools. We will still need to serve Water in place of Milk during certain meal times to further stretch our Milk supply.
Concerning JCSD secondary schools, we are electing to purchase Milk in larger plastic containers and pour into bulk dispensers. There is no shortage on plastic containers for Milk. From the bulk dispensers, with cup and lid provided, students can get their Milk during all meal times in the breakfast and lunch lines.
Thank you for you attention to this matter

We have been in close communication with the Juniata County Agricultural Society and other agencies regarding this matter, and both organizations agree that the potential for extended delays and safety risks necessitates this early dismissal.
