Who decides in a district
KIT money goes to the district's food service (nutrition services) department, so its director decides how it is spent. An education or curriculum lead, a farm-to-school buyer and a garden coordinator often shape a garden program, and in our work a garden coordinator housed in food services has worked well, since food service already runs as a business.
