The Lewiston school nutrition program expects to lose tens of thousands of dollars in federal reimbursement because it served fewer meals this year.
“There’s an interesting trend in Maine and across the country,” said Alisa Roman, nutrition program director for Lewiston Public Schools and president of the Maine School Nutrition Association.
“Schools are scrambling, ‘Oh my goodness, what are we going to do?’” she said in a recent phone interview. “It will definitely be a challenge for most.”
Other districts including those based in Poland, Farmington, Rumford and Paris also expect less money from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which fully or partially funds school meals.

The GoFundMe, titled KatStrong: Helping a child through a brain tumor, is aptly named. Since December, when Kat first started having migraines, she has managed to stay strong.
“One of her teachers sent her a message to stay fierce…she’s a happy kid, she wants to be outside, and she’s going to hold her ground…she’s going to need that strength to move forward.” said Jennifer Sherbinski, a high school teacher at Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School.
