Food Rates Decreased for Homes

[Blackcat31]

Homes were the only ones decreased. Everyone else increased.

Where did you see/find the info that only "homes" were decreased but not centers. I have some "friends" arguing about it.... ::

I'm confused. The food program went down. My children's school lunch cost went up. How do they figure this out?

The school had to put the cost on the parents to make up for the loss of reimbursements they get.

Same thing will happen to daycare rates if they raise childcare providers (AKA Preschool Teachers) incomes. The deficit has to go somewhere. The question remains who will be the one to pay it.

This time it was you.

My FP rates went down this month. My insurance went up. I already raised my rates for incoming clients in anticipation of this.

From my understanding the schools didn't get a decrease in reimbursement amounts though....just in home care. :confused:

I may be mis-reading but that's the general consensus from what I've gathered.

You are correct to my understanding as well. Some communities around here have had their tier changed which resulted in lower rates. Based on this years enrollment.

The general consensus here is that many lower income families left the area when the plant shut down to take the relocation offers. Other young couples returned to parents homes.

Hopefully other places will have seen a positive boom from places like here. I hope it is simply a cycle and it will work it's way back around. Rise, fall, rebuild, rise.

Aside: We have too many vacant houses, it is weird driving through old beloved neighborhoods suddenly. I have never seen so many houses with no curtains, blinds or rocking chairs. Empty porches. Maybe it is a southern thing, but it breaks my heart.
