Boulder is progressive in many aspects but in terms of school food it falls short. As a farm manager in Boulder County and somewhat moderate long time citizen of the republic I am welcoming Ann with open arms. We have a large population of hispanic students in Boulder County whose diets, and i’ll make this generalization based on working with many latinos, is less than satisfactory. Yes we all realize that inner cities need help but i admire the one more baby step she has decided to take before the giant national step. I am amazed at the fact that our local newspapers have not reported of this, or maybe i accidentally overlooked.

Really? This is disappointing. Don’t get me wrong–Ann Cooper is a wonderful, impressive, progressive advocate. BUT, I would really like to see her go somewhere where they really need her. Boulder is progressive without her. A responsible move that would make a real difference would be to an inner city district or a rural town to set precedent.
Come on, Ann. You can do better!

Wonderful to hear that Chef Ann will now tackle a larger school district. Is her Boulder project receiving as much financial support from the Chez Panisse Foundation as the Berkeley Unified School District did? Or are there other funders?
