Mobile Co. Schools are informing parents that their children that qualify for the free lunch program MUST complete the paperwork on the day of registration – like today. This would not be such a major issue without the fact that THE SCHOOLS HAVE NOT BEEN SUPPLIED WITH THE PAPERWORK!
Moreover, parents are being told that their children will NOT be fed lunch if they can not afford to pay for it! What is up with that?
Our tax dollars at work… 
NOT! Remember: The Free Lunch Program is a Federal program. Waste in any County in America is everyone’s loss!
After a rather heated discussion with the Mobile Co. School District I was instructed that the lower income children in the district will indeed get fed. However, they will only be fed a simple peanut butter sandwich, (what happens to the kids with peanut allergies?), rather than the complete meal the other children will be offered. Unless, of course, their parents can come up with the cash out-of-pocket until our elected school board gets off its collective duff and gets the paperwork to the schools – and then gets the forms approved. I think NOT! 
As a tax paying citizen of the United States and Mobile County, AL, I am absolutely appalled by the lack concern, lack of preparedness, and the total lack of humanity on the part of the school board on this matter. Bad enough that they are forcing every parent to re-do all of the paperwork that was filled out during preregistration a couple of weeks ago, but now this?
It must be hard enough on the parents of low income families to admit they need the help. Imagine the embarrassment and hurt being placed on the children being singled out in the lunchrooms all across Mobile County.
If this bothers you as much as it bothers The Bull, then contact the Mobile County cafeteria elves at 251-221-4617 and let them know just how you feel about how your Federal tax dollars are being spent.
As of this writing, Mobile County thinks that this Bull’s horns won’t hook. I think they are about to learn a hard lesson! Send this to everyone you know as well as every newspaper you can find until someone pays attention!
Bull, out!
No free lunch…
The Bull locked horns with the Mobile County School System today. Folks, our government, at all levels, is so dysfunctional that a simple paperwork issue turns in to this:Mobile Co. Schools are informing parents that their children that qualify for…
