We had to get more formal . . . and more transparent. It's not only that we do it well but also that people see it as well.

I don't know if we really have a choice when we have that many schools under capacity and we have real needs.

The blessing is that they have a lot of friends.

A lot of it has tremendous potential. Just the conversation is raising awareness. It goes far beyond student nutrition. It's about the whole child.

We just can't sit around twiddling our thumbs. We don't have a choice. We have to build schools for children.

We can't just keep hoping the county commission will do right by these kids.
