AT WORK Rob Clemmer, director of food service for the Winston-Salem Forsyth County School District, has a tiger by the tail . . . 59 schools and growing at a rate of 2,000 students a year.

Students were now able to enjoy homemade baked goods that were superior to commercial products. Restricted budgets mandated a close look at the economics of the bakery. If the answer were no to either of those questions, the bakery would need to be closed. Endangering the production of homemade biscuits, cinnamon buns, yeast rolls, corn muffins, loaf bread, French bread, muffins of all kinds, cookies, peanut butter bars, pineapple upside down cakes, six kinds of cupcakes, fruit bread, cinnamon raisin biscuits and croissants was not a popular stance, nor a comforting thought. Many schools with limited space and unlimited numbers of students could use express Service Counters.
