Cross said specifications are being prepared and a special meeting will review them. Principal Donald R. Shanks noted all work must finish before August 15 for opening preparations. The hot lunch program may require district subsidies next year due to reduced federal meat and milk allocations, while the program remains self supporting under the board’s sponsorship.
