Oakland Tribune, 9 March 11,1959 Costs of Restoring School Cafeteria Service Studied Board Studies Pilot School Plan for Badly Retarded Cost estimates on rtatorinf full cafeteria service to Oakland school have been requested by the Board ol Education following a look at the first seven month's cpvatlon of the "self-sustaining" program. Last year the cafeterias were ordered to operate without any subsidy from the general fund and 14 school cafeterias which were losing money were closed. At yesterday's special meeting on the cafeterias, Assistant Business Manager Arthur Pokorny said the 3(5 schools having lunch programs show a profit of $08 32 for the yesr through January. He said he had Just received a preliminary report on February which would boot the profit some $3,400. "It would appear from these figures we will be able to end the year In the black," be said.

Last ye'ar the total loss was $57,314. However, three more cafeterias are now in the marginal economic sone, Buaines Manager Spencer D. Renbow said, and a basic policy decision is needed on whether the hoard wished to continue its austerity program. "In addition we have not been able to open new school fift-lensi and present era ticludini kitchi-n equipment temporarily from additional new school hidt are received," Dr. Benbow noted.

"All this adds up to a very unsatisfactory situation." Tokorny said most other larfe school districts in California subsidized their lunch program from the -neral fund. Several P-TA croups and representatives from th mentary junior, hijh and en-ior high school principals ap-f proved and urged that the" board re-open the cafeterias and put the facilities In th new schools. They pointed out the need for a hot lunch for many children, the social benefits of the cafeterias and the close link between proper nu-. trition and learnrnc expand the summer workshop for teachers to 400 Instead of the usual 250. Supt.

of Schools Selmer Berg said the additional cot would not exceed $2,000 and that some 400 teachers have already expressed inter-est in attending. INVENTORY' program have demonstrated the great strides made in educating the severely retarded and said the job ran best be handled through the schools. He aatd the retarded are the lat group to be given consideration in school programs and the proponed Oakland pilot classes could piOner progress that would gain nationwide attention.
