Parents and students are upset over a New Jersey school board proposal to give any student who has a lunch debt of over $10 only tuna fish sandwiches. Those owing more than $20 would receive no lunch at all.
Students and parents of a New Jersey school district stood together on Tuesday night to voice their displeasure over a recent school board proposal that any student who has a lunch debt of over $10 receive only tuna fish sandwiches. The proposal also states that those owing more than $20 would receive no lunch at all.
According to NJ.com, students who have a debt over $10 will only receive a tuna sandwich, beverage and a side dish; students with over $20 in debt will have their meals cut entirely. The outlet adds that the school district has also increased its lunch prices. Shugars says that the district is more than"happy to work with parents," and that every 10 days, a letter regarding a student's lunch debt is sent home, along with information about how to qualify for financial help and how to apply for reduced or free lunches.
