School foodservice programs have grown from small kitchens serving lunch in a few schools to a multibillion-dollar industry serving breakfast and lunch to school children year-round and preparing food for child and adult care centers. The industry is expected to grow as universal meal programs are implemented. School programs will be challenged by forces such as educational restructuring, nutrition, and health and its relationship to learning ability, demographic changes, government, re sources and technology, competitive marketing, and environmental concerns. Career opportunities exist for foodservice and hospitality management graduates. University faculty can provide teaching and research expertise for the school- foodservice segment of the industry.
