Many more options here than I remember when I was in the system (Center and then East, Saxe and NCHS '93)—including several non-dairy and gluten-free options.
If it were Board of Education members and other district officials dining this week—with a major public hearing this week on next year's school budget—we might expect to see antacids offered, too, at least for Monday and Tuesday (maybe something stronger Wednesday, depending on how it goes).
Here's "what's on" for our students (descriptions are taken right from the NCPS website). A la carte menus and prices are attached, as well:
