Notable Quotes (2)
We acknowledge Robinsdale Area Schools is located on the homelands of the Dakota and Ojiway people. We recognize the painful history of genocide and forced assimilation of the indigenous inhabitants of this land.
If product needs to become in part you do that in the approval of the food service budget... I don't know how we would do that midstream to come back to the board and say can we get approval to buy more groceries
