Meal Debt Collection - Part 3

CFO Will Anderson gave an interesting presentation about the meal debt accounts.

You can watch it on https://livestream.com/richland2/events/10592883/videos/232666961, starting at "6:00". 

First of all, notice Supt. Davis' introduction. He could have just said, "Will Anderson will lead off our discussion. Mr. Anderson." 
Instead, as usual, Davis took a deep breath and away he went.

Anderson set the stage for use of the General Fund to spring for over $4,000,000 in meal costs to feed all Richland 2 students.  


Davis had alluded to General Fund use for Meal Debt at the August 23 board meeting. No Way!

Taxpayers don't pay taxes to the school district to feed students who can pay for their own meals. 

The USDA has guidelines for Free and Reduced-Price lunches. If you don't qualify for free or reduced, then you pay.

If you spend your lunch money on other things, you go hungry.

It is NOT the District's responsibility to feed this last group of students - those who do not qualify for free or reduced-price lunches.

Responsible trustees (three of them) can keep that from happening, when the motion is made on September 13th, by walking out and preventing a vote.
