37609 (2025). Dr Lawrence Xu-Nan to the Associate Minister of Education: Why, if at all, was the reference to contributing primary schools transferring to the School Lunch Collective in 2026 removed from the Ministry’s Ka Ora, Ka Ako website?

Hon David Seymour: There was an incorrect assumption made in 2024 that all external model schools moving to the alternative provision model would have lunches provided by the same supplier. When this incorrect information was identified on the website, this was removed.
