Food Service
The Next Step's food service program provides free breakfast, lunch, and supper to TNSPCS students following the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) policy. Eagle Academy PCS will provide the Next Step's meals.
The Next Step Public Charter School (TNS) participates in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and School Breakfast Program (SBP).
During the 2024-2025 school year, TNS will operate under SBP and NSLP, offering breakfast and lunch. Supper will be provided directly through school funding, not through a federal program. The Next Step PCS provides all meals free to TNS students while attending the day or evening program on the day meals are consumed.
If you have any questions, please email Ivanova Velasco, Director of Administration and Compliance, at ivanova@nextsteppcs.org. We look forward to continuing to bring high-quality service and support to our students and families.
LOCAL WELLNESS PLAN FOR TNS (2022 - 2025)
The Next Step PCS fully supports the Healthy Schools Act of 2010 and has developed a wellness policy to ensure its implementation. A TNS committee must review the plan at least twice a year and complete a triennial assessment every third year and will post all updates to the wellness plan on this website.
TNS students may participate on the committee that reviews, edits, and finalizes the Local Wellness Plan. TNS welcomes the participation of students in addition to other community members. If you want to join the Local Wellness Committee, please contact Monique Mitchell, Chief Operating Officer, at mmitchell@nextsteppcs.org.
