WAYNE COUNTY, Mich. (WXYZ) — Michigan is all set to put another $40 million to help continue funding free school meals for all public school students regardless of income.
So, to understand how the community feels about it, I went and spoke to parents in both Oakland and Wayne counties.
The first question I asked was: how often they use the program?

“We are about 50-50 utilizing it,” said Markeesha. “Our kids are not really found of what the school offers as far as lunches. They don’t really utilize breakfast because they typically eat a good breakfast at home. But as far as lunches they say they are really mediocre.”

“Some days more than others, based on the offerings,” said Justin. “We want to make sure there is always the option for them to have additional food if there is anything they want to buy.”

“If there is a meal the kids like, then they get to choose that. Usually, we tell them two meals a week; the rest are kind of from home,” said Jon. “I think it is probably good for some of the students or residents that maybe need that assistance; I don’t know if it’s for everybody…my concern mostly is the nutritional value of it.”

“I think kids should be able to go to school and not worry about food,” said Meggan.

“On average, for the school year, $50, and without school lunch, it has probably been $250,” said Jessica. “And fortunately, we can afford that there are parents out there that cannot.”
When asked what kids usually get with their school lunch, the meals usually consist chicken sandwiches, a vegetable and milk.
“It’s usually a main item, an entree, a hamburger, pizza, or something like that, then there is a veggie and a fruit option and a drink,” Jon said.
What about dietary restrictions or religious needs, is that a concern?
“Well, generally, the schools consider that when they prepare meals,” Meggan said. “My kids are vegetarians, and pretty much now, camps and programs that serve food have vegetarian options.”
If there is any kind of food you would like to see added on to the menu, what would that be?

“Turkey sandwich,” said Max.
Would you like every school district to have a unified menu?

“That sounds great to me,” said Kevin. “Like let’s say a more affluent city, they have better food options vs those in a lesser situation, so a unified menu would level the food Plainfield.”
“That would be nice,” Markeesha said.

Cade Cunningham Signs Five-Year Max Contract Extension With Detroit Pistons
![Cade Cunningham Signs Five-Year Max Contract Extension With Detroit Pistons](https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/c_crop,w_2738,h_1540,x_0,y_0/c_fill,w_1440,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto/images/ImagnImages/mmsport/all_pokes/01j1nyq2xtgpd9dvdwg7.jpg)
While the Mike Boynton era is over in Stillwater, one of his former players is continuing to thrive in the NBA.
A former top recruit in college basketball played his lone season at the collegiate level in an Oklahoma State jersey — with that player being Cade Cunningham.
Since starring in Stillwater for one season, Cunningham has shown plenty of promise at the NBA level. Through former No. 1 overall picks three seasons, Cunningham has averaged 20 points per contest, doing so through 128 games — all of which have been starts. He was only able to play 12 games during his sophomore season, so he’s been unable to completely show his full potential.
On Sunday, as the free agency period opened, Cunningham negotiated a five-year, $236 million contract extension, the maximum for a rookie. Being drafted by the Detroit Pistons in 2021, the team now has their building block as there is plenty of question as to the rest of their young core.

Now, the Pistons have been rebuilding for quite some time. They’re still quite a few paces behind in the roster-building aspect of things, but that could be accelerated should they choose to let Cunningham remain the centerpiece of the franchise.
Cunningham, who, as mentioned, was a top recruit in the 2020 class, was landed by Boynton, who is no longer with the program. He averaged 20.1 points per game in 27 contests as a member of Oklahoma State’s basketball team. He helped the Pokes to the NCAA Tournament, too, also averaging 6.2 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game.
While the Cowboys could have gone further in the postseason that year, they ultimately fell short, but his time in Stillwater is still incredibly memorable as it led to him being the top selection in the 2021 NBA Draft.
