I’m just curious.....who do these parents want to pay this $77,000 debt?

No lunch money = no food

this doesn't sound like being best to me!!!

Such a degrading thing to do to a student...

This was not for the kids on free or reduced price lunches. Parents that have the money are not paying. Two weeks behind or more with three notices would be reasonable.

How about paying the lunch debt so everyone else doesn't have to, Deadbeats

Quite likely better than what their parents make for them.

What is sun butter?

Be ashamed!

Good, that was an awful idea.

Perhaps kid's should just start taking a lunch to school that way the kid's are not being used to milk more money out of the parents wallet who is already a tax payer. Very nice in America the Great! Idiots look at the root of the problem. It’s POOR!! No words!!
