Tulsa Public Schools is ending its partnership with an outside child nutrition contractor and bringing the program back in-house after students went to the school board to complain about their cafeteria meals. 

While TPS prepares to launch a new, self-operated program for school meals, the district plans to renew its contract with Aramark on a short-term basis. District leaders made the announcement Friday in a statement. 

“Over the past year, the district and Aramark have worked collaboratively to establish a program that serves the needs of all involved,” reads the district’s statement. “Despite our efforts, together we have determined that the best path forward is to transition our child nutrition program back to district self‐operation.”

TPS provides universal free breakfast and lunch to all students in the district. It first contracted with Aramark for child nutrition in June 2024. That partnership drew public pushback from support staff members when it was renewed last spring. 

Students at two elementary schools took their concerns to the school board this spring, reporting cold meat and chunky milk.
