The classes started last week. That's not a novelty, clear. The news was so alarming that increased the price concession companies offer the service charge for dining in the public schools of the City of Buenos Aires. In December 2010 the price paid for the service per day was $ 8.90. This price was the result of a series of negotiations between the Government and companies throughout the year. As pressure during the first months, the companies served an "emergency menu" and charged different rates for each school were 8 to 13 pesos, money that should return later when they decided to raise the rate indicated by the statement to $ 8.90.
For this beginning of the year the situation is worse. Apparently the Government of Buenos Aires and dealers agreed that carries up to $ 14.20 daily rate.
This increase surprised us all. Friday was formalized in a statement that came to school and was stuck in the door of the establishment to which my daughters attend.
What to do? I turned to the Ombudsman's Office to see what could be done. Immediately addressed the issue and gave me a number of explanations that would be good for all we know. Namely:

"He is making a new bid. Whereupon all the concessionaires would be evaluated on their proposals. According to what we could find no fear of losing the grant, in fact would know that apparently all going to keep what they have.
"On the other hand would, pre agreed between the companies that the price will be 14. In what surely any company to improve the supply situation to be quite common that it is still completely illegal. And it also assumes that would be agreed with the government (which already authorized) who charge $ 14.20 while still not renewed the tender document.
-up is completely unfair, even if authorized by the statement. Both the public purse, with the resources of all pay for scholarships, and for families who do not have any kind of scholarship, and that this increase they represent an enormous cost that did not have any foresight.
"Besides, the agreement between the Government and the concessionaires. Families who do not possess high scholarship, they must pay as much as the Government decided to pay the concessionaires. They have no role in the discussion and are hostage to the non-transparent negotiations between the two parties.
-To get an idea: a family with two children and without a grant of room, the price would rise to 800 pesos per month. It is also much to pay the City Government, that ultimately we all are.
And if costs are not, and assuming that all things are going well, and the government believes that this is the minimum price increase should not transfer such families do not snipe.
"The scholarships are limited, what if all pidiesen?
-go option appears to Vianden. But nothing is further from what we want. Completely goes against the logic we want to support from the school canteen: sharing food, eating rich and varied, creating good habits, healthy eating, etc. The lunch box is the opposite of what we want for our children ', girls and a very easy and comfortable solution for the city government that does nothing to attack from all sides the logic and values \u200b\u200bof public education.
-For comparison: work at a school in the province of Buenos Aires, owned by a foundation, where they feed 160 children. The cost per day of food, similar to the menu we have in the City Government does not exceed an average of 3 pesos per day per child ... What kind of costs or provide the dealers handled?
are some things to think and to try to mobilize against what happens.
