While we were pleased to see the school district has modified their position, citing a need to balance fiscal responsibility with that of providing nutrition, we’re writing to further advocate for the principle that schools be a place where poverty is never a differentiator.

They throw away so much food in this country , a real shame and mis management of government resources. Toomuch Bureaucracy not coordinating with other sources.

I notice none of the people feigning outrage over this are recommending that their taxes go up to pay for universal free lunch.

This is a small scale preview of what Socialism has to offer people!

What kind of person would shame children over lunch money? Vote them out!

Thank goodness. They're children.

2/2 Pretty much everyone I know has gone into the negative; mostly by accident out of sight out of mind, or said kid just keeps buying junk and the school just lets them, why should they care?So this is standard let’s not make a mountain out of a mole hill, can we not?

This is pretty standard across the board. If schools don’t secure grants or other means to provide free lunches, a lot of cases they do. But if not they students have Accts you add money to, if they go Negative. It’s cheese or jelly sandwiches. 1/2

Obviously another SenateGOP move

Children are stressed enough - unacceptable!

Great news. Poor children SHOULD be punished due to no fault of their own.

All states need to be like Kentucky. In Kentucky all students receive free meals.

That school sounds like Donald Trump.

Sounds like my old school. I remember eating my fair share of jelly sandwiches.

Teaching them to pay their bills early. Obviously their parents haven't embraced that concept. Parents must be socialist Democrats. Our children deserve better... in a democratic held community? weird...

‘Overtly racist’ messages attributed to Newport Harbor High students spur school district investigationThe Newport-Mesa Unified School District said Friday that it is investigating a series of “overtly racist” messages shared in a private Instagram group chat that included students from Newport Harbor High School in Newport Beach. Sad that racism everywhere unfortunately ☹️ Can’t have a private conversation? What about private thoughts? Are we still allowed those? No one would investigate my child for posting anything. Let these people trample on your children’s 1st amendment.
