Speaking of food services......when are we going to get decent food in the high school cafeteria? High fat, empty calorie seems to be the rule. Get Jamie Oliver in to clean up the menu. Does anyone read the weekly menu in the News Tribune on Sundays? I cannot believe what is being served. Sure, there are some good choices (fruit, salad) but the crush of people in line and the extremely short lunch period make it impossible to get near these good choices.
