New, healthier food options, like locally grown produce and more cultural dishes, are coming to Howard County Public Schools. In response to concerns about the taste, freshness and healthiness of school meals, the Horizon Foundation, a health philanthropy, launched a countywide survey and brought the results to the school system. From there, an ongoing conversation and partnership formed between Horizon and the school system to establish initial steps to tackle the food concerns. The plan was announced Thursday morning at Guilford Park High School.
