Jes WCan you post when you will be talking with the school board?

Dawn AWe will not be talking to the school board because the great news is that Jeffco has gone to using reuseable trays in EVERY elementary. I tell the kids that they decided to change because they knew that KIDS were on to them, and they didn't want to have to change because kids were uncovering their bad environmental practices. :)
