Edinger to Probe Cafeteria Situation in District
Conmen from Hage One are said to have sparked a push to keep Miss Gordon on the district staff while addressing cafeteria service at the Senior and Turner High buildings. Payments totaling about 500 dollars have been received, with hopes for a solution that meets federal rules and avoids cutting further aid. Superintendent Dewey and Mrs. Barnes backed placing cafeteria duties under each building principal, but the board did not commit, awaiting Edinger’s group findings.
