This was only enacted as a cheap way to make it look like they cared about student health. Also the money they get now that all school food is centralized. And I doubt any of that money from the new vending machines is going back into the schools like the old ones. In fact some students and me have started a petition against the A-182 Chancellor Regulation. We need money that is obtained from bake sales in order to raise funds for our clubs and teams. This is not helping our schools and it is not making kids healthy! Here is a link to the petition group on Facebook. <br /><br />http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=173104842462Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02463798248847136555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2586988941850907367.post-77072081303560933852009-10-06T22:30:29.106-04:002009-10-06T22:30:29.106-04:00I'm going to suggest our school have a napkin ...I'm going to suggest our school have a napkin sale.

How then can the DOE ignore and circumvent the need for class size?? Please look into this and add it to your most worthwhile efforts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2586988941850907367.post-772857577347995062009-10-06T19:09:26.339-04:002009-10-06T19:09:26.339-04:00Not that they need too b/c they have millions in p...Not that they need too b/c they have millions in private funds coming in from the corporate world (who wants to privatize)... but I guess if you want a cupcake during the school day now, you'll have to take a trip down the hall to the charter school that was forced upon your building, because even though they recieve public money, they can still do anything they want... even, gasp... have a bake sale.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
