[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's expensive Op. Having said that, I do question how the SB appropriates funding. Maybe a few less flying in $80k guest speakers and more money allocated to, at the least, decent food. We are still waiting for a salad bar at my kid's ES. [/quote] FCPS has 187,000 students. $80K is a single half day's worth of food. You want to have something to allocate to decent food you're going to have to cut something much greater in the budget...like reducing the free student lunches from 100% of the population to 40%. The food and nutrition fund is $84 million a year. Check it yourself. That translates to a cost of $2 million per a week for 40 weeks to feed all of the kids. https://www.fcps.edu/sites/default/files/media/pdf/FY-2022-Program-Budget.pdf[/quote]
