[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 239432, member: 6546"] Nancy-- I had a similar issue with my child trying to get money from other people and running up "lunch charges" and then getting hit with a big bill at the end of the quarter. Talking to the school did nothing--since everyone's policy seemed to be "[I]We're NOT denying a child food...and if they say they don't have it then[/I]..." And unfortunately, there was no way to resolve this. About two years ago we moved, and the kids are now in a much stricter and more conservative SD. They do not even [I]sell[/I] ice cream or other treats every day. They are only offered on Fridays and snacks are sold as a fund-raiser by the P.T.O.. Further, if your child needs to "charge" a lunch...the school provides peanut-butter and jelly only, and then places an immediate call to the parents to notify them that the child did not have a lunch that day. And if your child forgot their morning snack? The teacher offers a replacement snack ONCE--after that, tough luck....they know the child will not starve before lunch time. Since being in the stricter SD--the "lunch money" issues have vanished. I wish all schools could apply that level of common sense to children's lunch programs. --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
