Our school district just started this no money, no food policy. In the elementary schools, the kids still get a sandwich. For middle school & high school they go without.
The issue I have is that some of the kids are picking their lunches out and don't know until they get to the check out line that there is no money in the account (like when I forgot to add more). Anyway, I know my child can make it through a day without eating and I don't have an issue with that (I make sure he has a few dollars on him just in case).
My issue is that when the kids get up in line and are told they don't have money for their lunch, the lunch people THROW THE FOOD AWAY!
What sense does that make???? You have a hungry kid who might not pay you back (hence the reason for the new policy) and you are just going to throw his lunch away?? Makes me sick.
Thanks for renewing my anger over this....time to follow up with the school.
