The kitchen manager paid out of her own pocket. For that she should be fired?
Yes. In Chicago and elsewhere, everything from sack lunches to snacks are banned:

Such is the stuff of small-town living or living back when things were more “normal” than today. The three years of Junior High were the only time I was in a school building with a cafeteria. I was fortunate that most of the lunch ladies were either in Eastern Star or church with my grandmother so I was usually the beneficiary of an extra hot roll that was so good.
I still don’t see why there is such a policy, but a cheese sandwich (plus milk for 5 cents) WAS the very lunch I brought from home, for years in elementary school. I thought the story was about kids going totally hungry, but that isn’t the case.
Did anybody Snopes it
Perhaps with the slop they serve kids it was probably the safest thing to do. BOTOH, shouldn’t the kids be told what their balance is like a receipt or something?
When I was a kid, if my parents didn’t give me lunch I beat up some wimp and took hers. ;)
If there’s receipts given out or balance notices that are sent home with the kid and the kid doesn’t hand it over how’s the parent to know? Maybe robo phone messages?
And why are there hungry kids when there are so many government programs-—food stamps, WIC, etc.? I thought that’s what those programs were for.
I know I feel safer now.
I heard a weepy radio commercial yesterday that urged parents to take advantage of free lunches, plus more, for kids during the summer.
So the only way to fight this sort of thing is to disparage it. People who wont take of their kids send their kids to school to eat. Lazy people sent their kids to school to eat.....and on and on.
Or people (women) who mysteriously find the money to have their two inch long talons manicured, polished green, and adorned with stick-on rhinestones.
If she would have had sex with the kids she would be on paid leave.
Wait. That’s only for teachers. Never mind.
If you google “school confiscates packed lunch” you’ll see the latest reports.
