Weirdness in Buncombe Schools – Read All about It

Buncombe County School Board member Lisa Baldwin has made herself quite unpopular for advocating in the best interest of kids in the school system. She’s made herself a misfit for not throwing money and hoping it lands in a brighter future.

In the latest missive, she told how the school system collected $141,132 in federal funds for free “summer feeding,” which sounds like something one would do for animals. As it turned out, the flocks found better food at a better cost elsewhere and spurned the taxpayer offerings. “Transportation and the newness of the program were cited as reasons.”
