Deficit Reported for Molly Stark Hot Lunch Program
The Greater Bennington School Board was told the Molly Stark School hot lunch ran a December 1965 deficit of 26.87 dollars due to rising food costs and reduced federal aid. Reimbursements fell from five to four cents per pupil per day, and officials warned that future appropriations may be needed if the deficit continues. The board also agreed to cover 75 cents taxi fare daily for a physically handicapped student and discussed a tuition reimbursement request for private-school pupils.
