Students at an Attleboro, Massachusetts, school have been ordered to throw away their school lunches the last two weeks if they did not have lunch credit or cash.
One student told local station FOX 25 that she was not allowed to even have one bite: “They told me to throw it away because I didn’t have enough money in my account,” says Victoria Greaves.
The principal, Andy Boles, told FOX 25 that he had not been aware of the situation until Tuesday after he was contacted by a parent. He also confirmed that an investigation had been launched and that the cafeteria worker responsible for the making the decision to throw away the meals had been placed on administrative leave and had been instructed not to deny lunch to any student in the future.
Parents indicated that several of the children cried and went home early in spite of a school policy that children without money are to be provided a cheese sandwich and milk.
