This is the school lunch policy in NC. So if the students don’t have money they can’t eat? credit to the op who posted the picture and ty for doing so.

And that’s what you get when idiots run the circus. They’ll cry about their guns and woke nonsense. BUT, instead of just giving the kid some food to grow and learn etc. We’ll truly throw money away by putting it in the trash.

So they would rather take and throw away food then give it to a hungry student for free? What the actual fuck

I don’t pay taxes so hungry kids can eat! I pay taxes so billionaires can build a third helipad at their eighth mansion to more easily fly to their fifth yacht. If kids are hungry, they can pull themselves up by the bootstraps and get a job at McDonald’s. Stop complaining that there’s nothing to eat!

So we’re going to throw away food…and still take the financial hit….but deprive the kid of food too.
That’ll teach em

On the plus side Massachusetts just passed law that all kids in the state eat for free in public schools. At last I can see my tax dollars at work correctly.

Remember, private companies run most of the school lunch programs now. They are “for profit”. The only way to change this is to put lunch programs back in the hands of the district/state.

So this is the policy in only Davidson county. While it’s entirely fucked up I can say with certainty it’s not like this state wide. I have 2 children in high school in NC and we definitely don’t have this bullshit issue here.
How the fuck can you have a policy that throws the food in the garage and takes the loss anyway but doesn’t let the child eat… wtf is wrong with people

Some kid is going to organize a protest where everyone takes a tray, but no one says they can pay for it, so they throw it all away and make nothing.

Not only can’t they eat but the school trashes perfectly edible food!
In my day I would have organized a bunch of my peers to go through the line, get a meal, claim no money, and let the cafeteria trash it all. I was a rabble rouser

I remember the school in PA that was not only threatening foster care for parents who could not pay off their kids lunch debts But refused to let a CEO pay the whole thing.
This is fucked up. Director needs to get fired for being wasteful.
Edit: sounds like the board and not the director are the culprits. This is beyond stupid

Director of School Nutrition – nothing more nutritious than starving teenagers and throwing away 10x more food than they’d eat.

“We would rather throw shit away then let you eat.” Davidson county.
30 years ago my elementary school (in Az) would at least give you a PB&J if you forgot your lunch or didn’t have money. But this NC county’s policy is some malevolent shit.
EDIT to clarify county.

Since it is high school, they should organize a resistance movement. Those who can, should make up extra lunches at home to bring in. Never add money to their school accounts, but go through the line each day filling up a tray for them to throw away. Change up the students doing it to make it harder to identify.
Another option, in support of capitalism, sell lunches. Remember that any complaints about doing so would also have to apply to any bake sales, concession stand, etc… Designate a percentage of each sale to go to some charity/ school club/ whatever. Since most campuses are closed now, they are basically operating an exploitive monopoly which is anti-capitalism.
Also- sue the district. Since minors are required to attend school, the district is forcing them to go without food based on their parents financial support. You can’t keep someone on a plane or in a jail cell for that period of time and not provide food, but a school can?
Another avenue people should look into is getting actual breakdowns of costs. How much does it cost to create and maintain student food accounts? Cost to have a cashier? Cost to fill out federal paperwork from parents, and maintain records for reduced/ free lunches?
Personally, I also think we should be requiring students to have rotating jobs/ chores at schools- including in the cafeteria, pulling weeds, picking up trash, etc.. not as a punishment, just as part of the school day learning experience. You can incorporate budgets, planning, etc, all into these programs. The class with cafeteria duty can plan the menu once a month. The class with outdoor maintenance can plan and plant a garden bed, or paint a mural, or do a holiday lights display. Give them some responsibility and some agency, so that they can appreciate what others do while learning different life skills.

This is the most straightforward, non partisan issue I have ever seen. If you require children to go to school, lunch should be provided

Why do students have to pay for meals in a place they are required by law to be (at least until 16)?
