AUSTIN, Texas -- As Austin Independent School District students head back to class, they will also have a new lunch menu this year.

New foods from different parts of the world will be offered, including Jamaican meat pies, Yuca fries and plantains. The district said the additions highlight a diverse student body.. in which more than 90 languages are spoken.

Superintendent Paul Cruz visited the Harris Elementary cafeteria this morning to try some of the new items.

"It sort of fits with the DNA of Austin. We have what three food trucks? Three food trucks, yes. Started the one, had none, now one, and two and three. But also try different foods that represent the diversity of our district. I think that's important,” said Paul Cruz, AISD Superintendent.

The first day of school for AISD is Monday.
