WASHINGTON, D.C.—The former head of food services for the District’s public schools, who was fired after clashing with Chancellor Kaya Henderson last year, alleges in a lawsuit filed Wednesday that the school system was overcharged, billed for spoiled produce and shorted millions of dollars by its largest food vendor.
Jeffrey Mills said in an interview this week that problems with the system’s food services contract are symptoms of the school administration’s weak oversight and mismanagement.
