The nutrition department at Greenville County School District in Greenville County, South Carolina has had a relationship with the district’s Special Education Department for many years now and special education students are able to participate in a kitchen internship program at the district’s Roper Mountain Science Center.
On this episode of Onsite with FSD, we sat down with Director of Nutrition Services for Greeenville County Schools Ron Jones and Registered Dietician and Culinary Specialist for Greeenville County Schools Lauren Couchois to talk about how their partnership with the Special Education Department came to be and how it provides benefits to both students and the nutrition department as a whole.
