Hello, SAISD Parents,This week, I would like to explain to our Sam Houston parents why your child might be leaving campus for lunch without permission. When looking at the SAISD website, I looked up the menu for Sam Houston, and there's nothing currently listed at this time for lunch. It seems that Dr. Diop wasn't concerned about having a working kitchen so that our Sam Houston students could have a hot fresh meal before school began. When I called our district office and spoke to the department that handles our meals and nutrition at all of our schools, they were unaware of these issues at Sam Houston. As parents, we send our children to school to get an education, but part of that is them receiving a nutritional breakfast and lunch.
