I wouldn't be opposed to that. But until that's the case, parents whose kids aren't on the free/reduced lunch program need to pay for what their kids eat.

This would piss me. Here you have to pay dues for class trips st the beginning of the year.
Why not do free breakfast and lunch for all? It shouldn't be that hard.

The district in this post has started to send delinquent accounts to collections. At the very least, the bad debt will be showing up on their credit reports. And I think they'll put liens on houses, too, for those delinquent accounts in excess of $1,000.

They need to be able to send the debt to the Attorney General and have it garnished from tax refunds. I bet that would clean up 90% of it.

I think prisoners should be billed for their cost to society.

so, prisoners can get free food, and social activities......

but schoolkids have to miss out due to lunch money

I think it is mean.

I suppose it might be reasonable for high school kids, running up crazy tabs on extravagant take out or something, but some poor elementary kid, missing a field trip, come on! That’s awful.

It is mean. I can't agree with you more. There is so much wrong with that school's decision.

I mean, I get it. They offer a service and that service isn't free.

I can understand it because if you can't pay for food you should not be paying for extras like sports, dances, etc. But idk. Seems there might be a better way. When I was in school you didn't get your grade card if you owed any money. Parents could also volunteer to pay off the debt.

Just some food for thought:

REMINDER: The school district is not denying food to any students.
Continue reading:

If a student in any organization outside of school (ie: dance studios, gymnasiums, sports organizations, theater classes) is delinquent on his/her account, that child is denied access to those activities. I'm curious as to what the rationale is behind thinking that it shouldn't be the same when this occurs within a school?
