The Waukesha Board of Education will discuss the National School Lunch and Seamless Summer Options programs at 5:30 p.m. Monday at the district office, 222 Maple Ave.


WAUKESHA, WI — The Waukesha Board of Education will host a special meeting to discuss the district’s possible actions on federal lunch programs at 5:30 p.m. Monday at the district office, 222 Maple Ave.

Parents and community members have vocally opposed the school board's June 9 decision to opt out of an extension of the Seamless Summer Option, a federal program that would give all students free lunch to all students without income requirements for free or reduced lunches. Waukesha was the only district in the state to opt out of the federal program.

Instead, the board in June chose to take part in the federal National School Lunch Program for the upcoming 2021-'22 school year; it is a federally assisted meal program that requires parents to complete a form and provide income information, according to a news release.

1. Seems To Establish...

...that a few libertarian cranks opted out without bothering to talk to parents who, you know, vote for the school board.
Now, they find VOTERS are upset so the moonwalking begins.

2. Waukesha is an amalgam of growth

1. the city center is not a center of gravity.
2. one “center” is I-94, law firms, truck depots, shopping centers and a high tech General Electric nearby.
3. Waukesha city is in Waukesha County. Pewaukee, Delafield, Brookfield and Oconomowoc are the other main communities.

i believe these high end firms were one aspect along with national pressure.

3. Either dumb or stingy/ The feds are going to give your schools free money...

which benefits everyone, parents and students, but you turn it down?

Sounds like some stingy bastards don't want "others" to benefit.

No criminal misconduct found in Nickolaus investigation

A county clerk likely violated the law when she failed to report thousands of votes in this spring's Wisconsin Supreme Court election, but her conduct wasn't criminal, state investigators said Wednesday.
Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus couldn't explain how she failed to report the votes, investigators said, but they concluded she probably loaded a blank template into a reporting database rather than a template that contained the vote totals. Wisconsin law requires county clerks to post all returns on Election Night.

6. I graduated high school in 1961.

The 4 years I was in high school, I never paid for my lunch. Every student that wanted it got it. There wasn't any paperwork. There wasn't a cashier. Property taxes paid for it and almost everything else. I could write down everything we received that was paid for by property taxes but it is easier to write what we paid for. Pens, pencils, composition books, sliderule, protractor, book covers if we wanted them (the books were free so we could write in them), and gym suits.

9. I used this story to explain once again to my grandkids why

I always vote for the democrat

Always

They are the only party that cares about feeding hungry children 👶
