We have cards here that parents put cash on. They will allow it to go negative a couple days before any action is taken. - Spawn Jan 30, 12:27 1
- which is what one would think - rather than take food away from 6 year olds -- nm - decline Jan 30, 12:29
Isn't public school lunch free? Or is this not a public school. -- nm - Krusty Jan 30, 12:20 11
- only if you're dirt poor and qualify for free or reduced price lunches. - znufrii Jan 30, 12:21 1
  - Got it. Thanks. -- nm - Krusty Jan 30, 12:24
- uh, nope. public school lunches are not free -- nm - decline Jan 30, 12:21 8
  - Exactly. -- nm - Spawn Jan 30, 12:22
  - I think they are here. -- nm - Krusty Jan 30, 12:21 6
    - Looks like it's dependent on your family's income. Some are free, some reduced price and others pay full price. -- nm - Krusty Jan 30, 12:23
    - what znu said - for most kids it's pay for lunch -- nm - decline Jan 30, 12:23 3
      - not "most kids" in a lot of NYC neighborhoods, I'm sure. -- nm - znufrii Jan 30, 12:23 2
        
        now you made me google. Most was wrong. 78% in NYC receive free or reduced price. - decline Jan 30, 12:28 1
        
        and it's a lot higher than that in some neighborhoods. -- nm - znufrii Jan 30, 12:39
    - i would be really surprised. that's a big budget line item. -- nm - Andie Jan 30, 12:22
Elementary school students. Can you picture your 6-7 year old child getting to the end of the cafeteria line and then having their food taken away? - Mop (200 lbs) Jan 30, 12:06 7
- My kid would be paid up so this wouldn't ever happen. -- nm - CQ Jan 30, 12:18 5
  - unfortunately, i assume not all parents can always do that. -- nm - Andie Jan 30, 12:23 4
    - Well, now that everything is in an account, it happens sometimes that their balance drops. We are notified when our boys accounts are less than $5. - Jim Jan 30, 12:29 3
      - your school serves peanut butter? It's pretty much banned in schools here. -- nm - Andie Jan 30, 12:58 1
        
        Yeah, pretty sure they do. I could also be wrong...but I'm pretty sure that's the "where's your lunch money" lunch. -- nm - Jim Jan 30, 13:02
      - Wow. Ours allows them a couple of normal lunches. Not sure what happens after that. -- nm - Spawn Jan 30, 12:42
- no I can't - I'd be livid -- nm - Pippy Jan 30, 12:17
It's not just in Utah. This is the solution in a lot of schools. - spamlet Jan 30, 11:59
well, don't let your kids be deadbeats and this won't happen. -- nm - znufrii Jan 30, 11:58
