Several school districts on the North Olympic Peninsula are among more than 100 districts statewide that have pulled beef from the menu in the wake of a U.S. Department of Agriculture investigation. Port Townsend and Chimacum school districts and the Quillayute Valley School District in Forks also pulled beef from their menus as a precaution, even though they were not listed by the state as potential recipients of the meat. Crescent School District in Joyce is keeping beef on the menu after determining that its supply is safe, Superintendent Tom Anderson said Saturday The supplier of the meat that has raised all of the concerns is not the supplier for most of the schools on the Peninsula, he said. Notified by state Cape Flattery School District was notified by the state Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction of its concerns late Thursday and has stopped serving beef, Superintendent Gene Laes said Saturday. Sequim School District Superintendent Bill Bentley said there would be no need to change the menu, since the district does not buy beef from Westland.
