A followup to a Lisbon Central School service-learning project that made the news recently: the
students had an interesting public policy learning experience. In their efforts to recycle food waste at their school, they came up against a federal rule blocking their idea. See the news story:

Lisbon (WTNH) - School kids in Lisbon thought they had a great recycling idea -- feed leftover cafeteria scraps to pigs. It seemed like a good idea until the USDA found out and put a stop to it.
KIDS Consortium welcomes the Alternative Education Association of Maine to Facebook. KIDS Consortium founder Marvin Rosenblum will speak at AEA of Maine's Fall 2009 conference at the Augusta Civic Center on November 13. Stay tuned for details.
