What Richland 2 has is a progressive superintendent who believes "equity" is providing free meals for all, and he intends to find a way to implement it.
Not only was last night's meeting about collecting old debt, it was the beginning of Free Meals for All.
Progressive doesn't just mean looking forward. It has a particular meaning of liberal, for all, "equity". And don't forget diversity and inclusion.

This must be controlled by the board, but it will take the new board to rein him in.
Chair Manning thinks a Pay-for-Meals student should be able to run up a $100 bill. I think not. If the student and his parent(s) can't/won't pay $4/day for a meal, how are they going to pay off a $100 charge balance? And stay current on meals wanted by the kid?
You've got to catch it sooner.
I'll tell you what the "hardship" is for most parents. $100-150 monthly cable bills. $150/month cell phone bills. That extra $100-150/month for the insurance for the kid's car. Alll those must-have video games. The iPhone. The AppleWatch.
Stop the special deals, payment plans, and other garbage. Nip it in the bud. All the District is doing is enabling bad habits that will mushroom in the future.
