Richland 2 Meal Plan Debt

Don't miss the article in the Post and Courier about Richland 2's meal plan debt! Reporter Ian Grenier nails it.

65% owe less than $25? I seriously doubt that. If that is true, just wipe it off the books and forget it. You don't pay somebody $100,000/year to collect $25.

90% owe less than $100? I doubt this, too.

Put up a sign in the lunch rooms. 
"NO MORE FREE (or Reduced Price) FOOD (unless you qualify)"

I wonder what a spreadsheet would look like, prioritized by each child's debt, after throwing out the Free Meal Plan kiddies. The kids owing the most are probably the ones with Air Jordans, the BMWs, the iPhones, etc. My guess, anyway.

Don't forget under whose administration this debt went out of control. Baron Davis was the superintendent. And you know who was on the board. Was that one of the reasons he "resigned"?

Why didn't Davis tell the board about the problem and propose a solution? He was in charge of finding a solution, not the board.

The District ought to subtract that $547,861 meal plan debt from Baron's $615,000 settlement. How would that be for "equity"?
