"Thirty-four percent of Decatur students were eligible for free or reduced school lunches in 1997. Ten years later that number is 51 percent. "

just wished they would have included the income figures.

i don't question there are poor kids, just wonder if by chance the program could have been expanded over the years.

also, have to take in account inflation.

this wasn't necessarily a bad article, just wish they could have put a couple of more key figures i n the piece.

Most of Jeff Davis is on free or reduced lunch. Ever drive by their parking lot? Don't look too poor to me.

How the "payday loan" works -- and why it's breaking the poor and uneducated that are using them.... there was legisation in 2000 -- this is how it passed under the wire with a "loop hole" in the law (cannot for the life of me remember the name of the civil action).
