It is a requirement by the State of Iowa that any schools who provide meal services through a Food Service Management Company gather feedback twice per year from students, staff, and parents. Algona Schools contracts food services through Taher, and is required to collect this feedback. The past 3 years we have held traditional meetings, but felt we could reach more families and staff if we instead conducted a quick survey.

The link to the survey is: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfoAj56ZE0i5kvhWU-HuEts8QcdxdDc3TlwqQVaKsdTyMwmMw/viewform
