WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW

Content: But the economic reality means that alternative, cheaper meals must be provided to students who cannot afford a full school lunch. Patricia Montague, the CEO of the School Nutrition Association, explains that school meals are financially independent of a school district's education budget. She states: However, federal regulations prohibit school meal programs from carrying debt from unpaid meal charges from one school year to the next. So when parents don’t pay the balance, and meal programs are unable to cover the costs, school districts are forced to pick up the tab. As a result, many school meal programs have been forced to institute controversial charge policies governing whether, and what, their school cafeterias will serve to students who are unable to pay for a meal. School districts can amass hundreds of thousands of debt from unpaid meals charges. According to Montague, the perfect solution has yet to be found, but everyone has the students' best interest in mind. Eliminating the need to pay for school lunch is not a realistic solution to the problem at hand. 22montague.h33.html
