Students Denied Lunch
April 5, 2013 by staff
Students Denied Lunch, Sorry, kid. No money, no lunch Students at an Attleboro, Massachusetts, middle school went hungry this week if they had a negative balance on their pre-paid lunch cards.
Five cents of debt was enough for cafeteria employees at the Coehlo Middle School in instruct kids at least one day this week to dump out the food they would have normally eaten, CNN affiliate WJAR, Rhode Island, reported.
About 25 children left the lunchroom with empty stomachs, said Whitson’s Culinary Group in a statement. The company runs the school’s cafeteria.
Parents were appalled. So was the principal. So was Whitson’s.
“I told them this is bullying; that’s neglect, child abuse,” said parent Jo-An Blanchard.
Principal Andrew Boles apologized and blamed the culinary company.
