As part of my role as an appointee to SFUSD’s Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee, I visited McAteer Culinary Center after a $5,000,000 investment in renovation. I discovered a multi-million dollar savings opportunity via increased utilization of the kitchen based on better alignment between opex and capex investments. Because the opex and capex budgets at SFUSD are legally separate, there are likely many such opportunities available.
