LAUSD food waste audit raises more questions than answers
An audit by the LAUSD’s Office of Inspector General this week found that the second largest school district in the country wasted about $10 million of food in a recent school year.

The inspector general has requested time for a further investigation. We’ll talk about what that might entail.
