JCPS is working with the district's milk vendor to make a plan to pick up and replace all fresh milk across the school district. The move comes after students and staff reported a possible quality issue Wednesday morning. 

The district has since said they are not aware of any contaminants in the milk, and that they believe it is "simply a quality and taste issue."

A district spokesperson said the milk in question was consumed during breakfast and some early lunches, but that most students were served shelf stable milk, water or juice for lunch.

The district wrote, "as always, we will err on the side of caution when it comes to health and well-being of our students."

The district has confirmed Prairie Farms is the supplier and they plan to have fresh milk in all schools by mid-week next week. At this time, a district spokesperson said he is not aware of any students getting sick from the milk.
