Susan Nash is the Food Service Director of the Aberdeen public school district. As food service director, Nash plays the largest role in deciding what meals will be served through the district cafeterias. Some of the responsibilities of a food service director include:
• Coordinating menus for all schools in the district
• Planning and monitoring the food services budget
• Evaluating food preferences and planning accordingly
• Promoting steady improvement in food services
• Managing food service staff
• Providing a marketing plan to encourage nutrition within the district
Though Nash undoubtedly performs the base requirements of her job, I believe she could perform these tasks in a much more effective manner, a manner that would promote a healthy environment for the students of the Aberdeen school district. Because she has power over use of the food budget as well as the selection of the foods served, Nash has all the tools necessary to make a healthy change. Though most food service budgets are decided on an annual basis, Nash could start planning now and have a new and improved cafeteria plan for the upcoming school year.
It is very frustrating how many people struggle all their lives to make their opinions heard, while many in power, who are always heard, choose never to exercise either their voice, or the voice off the people. The majority of the time it is the voice of the person in power who has the authority to make the change and if the change will only help, not hurt the people they are leading, then why not speak up and make a difference? Susan Nash, it is time to help the students of the Aberdeen school district. Use your voice.
