These private corporations would be able to reduce salary and benefits for employees, as compared to the food service workers employed by the school district. Their staff may not be required to fulfill the same background checks as public-school employees, and they would have a financial incentive to cut corners wherever possible, in order to increase their profit margins. Private corporations should not be making money off of the funding designated to feeding kids -- every penny should go towards our children! Ask your legislators to oppose HB 986! https://actionnetwork.org/letters/hb986?clear_id=true&source=direct_link
