[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just fired off the below email to the Education Committee. Here are their emails: dgrosso@dccouncil.us, abonds@dccouncil.us, yalexander@dccouncil.us, callen@dccouncil.us, btodd@dccouncil.us, and here is the link to the committee website. http://dccouncil.us/committees/committee-on-education

"Council Members,

My name is _______________, resident of Ward _. I have become aware of the disturbing state of food management in our public schools following a recently published article in the CityPaper.

How is it acceptable in this city, with the costs we pay, not to provide our children great (ideally organic & or local) food from a trusted vendor? As a parent, tax payer, and business person I find it unacceptable to stay the course with Chartwells in the coming year(s).

The parents in this city expect you all to resolve this issue prior to the ensuing school year. Perhaps you could allow each school to select its own food vendor. This way each principal would be held accountable to its parents. They could hire a local caterer, or maybe DC could have a central kitchen that could distribute wholesome food to the schools daily. A clear thing lacking in today's food structure is accountability and transparency. You could address that as well.

For those of you that have taken this issue up and aim to resolve it immediately, I commend and support you. For those of you sitting on the sidelines or are in favor of the status quo, don't forget who you represent, because they won't."[/quote]

What's the goal here?[/quote]
