PAYBACK: School Faces Massive Federal Regulations After Withdrawing From Michelle O’s Lunch Program

[flacaltenn]

Sounds like the school board couldn't figure out how to operate an efficient system so they are trying to take a short cut by operating a food processing facility without having to follow health and safety regulations for operating such a facility. The feds told them they had to follow those health and safety regulations or the feds with cease and desist their partnership and liability with the process. What other choice does the Fed have? Should they give the school the OK to process food knowing they may not have the equipment, such as refrigeration units and sterilization equipment or required oversight management personnel?

I'm trying to find that part of the Constitution that makes it any of the federal government's business in the first place. If you find that get back to us.

Education is a local matter and always has been until recent years

No problem. If they don't want federal involvement in feeding their students all they have to do is reject tax payer funds. This is not a constitutional issue. It is a contractual agreement issue. The school board accepts funds for purchase, preparation and distribution of food for school children. They agree to follow regulations and rules regarding types of food and the health and safety codes as specified by the tax payers via the federal government. They wish to discard and ignore their part of the contract and the government has informed them that if they do they will no longer be eligible to receive tax payer funds. Nothing remotely related to constitutional law involved in this situation. You agree to accept free money and funding you will have to abide by some rules. Take it of leave it.

Predictably, because you are leftist, you are confused about the diff between "attaching strings" to Federal Grants and outright coercion and abuse of power. Those "food processing plant" regulations are intended for companies engaged in InterState commerce. Which CLEARLY is not the case if a local school district does the right thing and concentrates some of it's food prep for the district in one facility.. Those are subject to more than adequate state and local laws and inspections. Usually, when someone starts claiming that folks are gonna die if the Feds don't step in right away -- it's because they are the left who believe that all competence and accountability is contained in the inept and UNACCOUNTABLE Federal bureaucracy.

This is a shakedown -- pure and simple..

Actually it is an effort by the feds to prevent the school district from mixing subsidized food with non subsidized food, hence, preventing the possibility of misusing federally subsidized food. That food included hamburger. The school district wanted to be able to take the hamburger bought and payed for with tax payer money and mix it in with the non subsidized schools hamburger and say "trust us, we will make sure it gets divided the way it should be". The feds are insisting that all the hamburger and other subsidized food given for the two participating schools go exclusively to the schools it was meant to go to. Since the board pulled the high school out of the program the feds are insisting that the school board buy and pay for that schools hamburger and other foods out of their own separate budget.
Perhaps reading the link provide a few post back would be helpful. Probably better than just agenda influenced speculation.

OMG -- You must BE part of the Borg Bureaucracy -- aintYA

All worried about mixing subsidized burger with UNsubsidized burger just makes my head explode. That's not a STRING -- it's a fucking ball and chain.. WHAT HAPPENED TO FEEDING HUNGRY CHILDREN HERE???

Another leftist trait. If it's not done THEIR way -- they suddenly don't care about the reason they were involved in the first place..

Just ADMIT that threatening these folks with Fed Regs that should NEVER apply to a school district is coercion and abuse of power. Because it's PETTY and it's intended as retribution..

The folks objecting to the feds insisting on health and safety rules being followed are arguing that the school board should have the right to ignore those rules at the risk of the safety and health of school children. How ridiculous is that? All caused by this unnatural hatred of a first lady and her attempts to insure children receive healthy and nutritional meals while they are at school.

Did they teach you to march with your legs real straight yet?

I'm seriously beginning to wonder what country we are living in anymore. Unbelievable

Londonderry High School in New Hampshire opted out of Michelle Obama’s school lunch program this year after it became evident that a large amount of food that complied with the program was being wasted.

The high school opted out but the elementary and middle schools are still in the program. Because the high school prepares meals for all schools in the district, the USDA is threatening to reclassify the high school as a food processing facility.

This classification carries with it a myriad of new regulation that could cause major problems for the district.

School superintendent Nathan Greenberg had this to say:

“Our whole goal was to provide nutritious lunches at the high school for our students, give them choice and limit the waste we saw last year.”

In laymen terms, we hate the black bitch, so bring it.....yaw seriously need to stop defending white people who are racist and stupid......really!!

All that racism is going to burn you up. Mooch's lunch program is a disaster....much like her Big Eared Disaster's tenure as POTUS

Give me a break, both you and the others here have labeled this couple everything but human and presidential......pot meet kettle

They all too often have acted like anything but presidential.

the people better start contacting their elected Representatives and tell them to get this abuse of power going on under this administration especially in check. I've never seen it this bad. but don't dare accuse them of being Commies/thugs/tyrants. this is getting out of hand
