[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem is not that the poor get food and social
Services but that it’s been left to school to accomplish that. [/quote]

Right. Like you’d ever open your home to them. [/quote]

What a way to deflect. Are you opening your home to just random strangers that you know nothing about?[/quote]

I’m not the one complaining about schools being a distribution center for meals to the poor and the hungry. Seriously, go to hell.[/quote]

NP here. Well, it's a valid question. Why is this a responsibility of the school district? I think we can all agree that we should help those that need help. But why is it the schools' responsibilty versus the town the state or the federal government?[/quote]

Does anyone seriously believe that the food distribution is what's impacting the quality of education offered by FCPS?  The cafeteria workers who would normally make in school lunches are making the meals and the transportation department is doing the distribution.  Do you think the cafeteria workers and transportation workers would otherwise be making the academic plans?  It makes sense for schools to do the food distribution because they already have the cooking/food prep facilities in the cafeterias.  Plus, they have the food prep staff.  Towns should purchase/build food prep facilities and hire staff while school cafeterias and staff go idle while no one is in school?  Teachers aren't splitting their time between making meals, doing us runs and teaching.  Do you think having a cafeteria that serves food during a normal school year takes away from academics?  They need to plan menurs, make two sets of meals everyday, get deliveries, staff cafeteria workers...If we take out the cost of all that, guess what would happen?  Yep, the schools' budgets would get cut.  [/quote]
