From
the Wilmington News Journal 8/22/14
The
Story Behind The Headline
In
2013 I contacted the WCS Superintendent and inquired about the
possibility of starting a summer feeding program in Wilmington
Schools.
The districts high poverty rate indicated a need for such a project.
The
school administration was non committal on the idea and the matter
died for lack of interest.
In
early 2015 I made another attempt to interest the administration in
the project but was unable to arouse much interest. I then contacted
individual members of the Board of Education and that resulted in a
sit down meeting with the Superintendent and the district business
manager. At
a later meeting with the business manager, the food service manager
and myself it was decided to proceed with the program.
Note:
I contacted the editor of of the News Journal early in the summer and
requested that she publish an announcement of the program and the
details for participation but the notice was not published.
