This has to be a joke. No one is this stupid.

Brings back memories of my daughters daycare where the parent board brought in a chef and organic menu and then proceeded to cut teachers vacation, sick time and raises.

Hmmm... I wouldn't consider packing lunches for my children suffering.

The issue is that this food needs to be cheap for the FARMS so yes we all suffer.

Lunches should be catered at Potomac Elem.

Hard to do that for $2.75 a meal. MoCo is big on standardization and there is a limit on what individual schools can do. But many kids bring their own lunches so you can pack whatever you want for your child.

There are no active kitchens in MCPS schools, just refrigerators and warmers.

Even in Potomac.

Sounds like we need to circulate an online petition.

All MCPS cafeterias serve the same food. None is prepared on site.

I was looking at the menu of a Potomac ES and was wondering if the food was prepared on-site. Any schools in Potomac cook from scratch? Any use mostly organic food? TIA!
