Carbondale to offer free lunches for welfare children
The Carbondale elementary school board voted to extend free lunches to welfare children this fall on par with other students. A local women’s group pressed the issue, noting welfare families currently pay 20 cents per lunch while full price is 30 cents. The policy awaits a letter from Ray Suddarth, director of school food services, with the board previously approving the plan. Suddarth and Supt. Laurence Martin discussed the stance, noting other northern Illinois districts often charge 50 cents.
