My sis said their district signed up for the lunches and got money for doing so. When they went to unshackle, they simple could not untangle from the molasses. A school I volunteered for pressured each registering and re-registering parent to sign up for free lunches. They got money for the food and instead used it for their own pleasure.
The D of Ed is rife with corruption.
The school districts were/are under a lot of pressure to increase the number of students receiving free/reduced-price lunches. The school I taught at awarded prizes to students who returned their free-lunch applications. I believe schools get extra funding for higher “poverty” populations—which are measured by the free-lunch count.
The Department of Education should be abolished.
Yes, I'm an abolitionist.

Not only that...the more free lunches (i.e. poor)....the lower the bar for state wide tests...
