[il-talk] Vending to CPS?

[Bill Reif]

Hi Bruce,

The state and federal laws which give blind vendors priority to operate 
in state or federal government facilities don't apply to facilities 
operated by local governments such as schools.  Many schools have 
revenue sharing or commission arrangements under which a percentage of 
the proceeds support a school activity or club.  In many schools, the 
machines are only accessible for limited hours after school.  They are 
also an environment in which healthy food concerns are taken most 
seriously.  Finally: a blind vendor will have to contend with there not 
being local storage from which milk and other cold foods would need to 
be transported.

Cordially,
Bill
