Sporks?

Again.

The school was charging twenty five cents per spork. Upon instigated investigation, Texas Agriculture Commission agent in charge of school lunches got himself told that school was charging twenty five cents for the SECOND spork.

Oookay.

Now, the question is, why doesn't the Lancaster Child Nutrition program follow it's own rules?

According to Board Policy CO-Local (1989) the superintendent or his designee (in this case, Paul Walker) suggests meal (and spork) prices. But the board is responsible to APPROVE the suggested prices. Or, implicitly, correct outrageous pricing suggestions. Like charging twenty five cents for a 2 cent spork.

As far as I can tell in the board meeting minutes, the board hasn't approved any prices.

Now, if they don't want the responsibility, shouldn't they at least change the board policy to give away that power?
