    Local principals unaware of violations

    By By Lynette Wilson / staff writer
    Oct. 13, 2002
    Principal Fred Brashier of Poplar Springs Elementary School said Saturday he didn't know his school's cafeteria had failed health inspections.
    Poplar Springs was one of two Meridian schools included in an Associated Press report released over the weekend. The charts which accompany this story list schools whose cafeterias have been cited for health inspection violations between 2000 and 2002.
    According to the AP, Poplar Springs failed two inspections, in October 2000 and January 2001.
    Brashier said Donna Freyaldenhoven, the director of food service for the Meridian Public School District, oversees the operation of the cafeteria. And, he said, food preparation for his students is done off-site.
    Poplar Springs was not included in the latest listing, which covers 458 inspections done since January 2002.
    West End Elementary, however, was included in the latest list for failing a health inspection in April 2002. The problem was corrected almost immediately.
    Food preparation for West End students is also done off-site, said Principal Judy Radcliff.
    Radcliff was also unaware her school's cafeteria had been cited for violations.
    Superintendent Janet McLin and Food Service Director Donna Freyaldenhoven could not be reached for comment Saturday.
    Violations since January 2002:
    Here is a partial list of schools that have failed at least one
