APS: Schools running out of lunch?

[Anonymous]

My daughter at W-L says the lunch portions are very small. She says when kids ask for more than one they are told no.

That's what the Wakefield listserv says as well. Small portions, no options, no alternates, no seconds.

My kid is definitely not getting a complete breakfast (elementary student). They're not getting sides-- he gets a "cookie" (not on the menu) and juice. He's fine, it's his second breakfast, but I'm concerned about the other kids who need the calories.

My guess is there's some supply chain issues going on. I am tempted to reach out to the district dietician to see if they've done a caloric analysis on the lunch to see if the contractor is in compliance (they aren't-- the meals are no where near 350 calories) but I am not sure if I want to be that person.

My kid (elem) said she was only given fruit and milk today because lunch ran out. She said the milk was expired.

You get what you pay for.

Guess what? Healthcare providers that accept Medicaid and Medicare often provide subpar service as well. It’s like a mill in these places. “Your five minute appointment is over. NEXT.”

We need to stop depending on government handouts.

My taxes pay for this, so I don’t feel like it’s a handout at all. My turn at the trough!

Don’t be that person.

One of my kids gets lunch as school, but I send in additional food too. His lunch is at 10:30, so running out isn’t a problem that early.

Seriously. If you want free food from the government, don’t be surprised when it’s a stale sandwich with expired milk.

But a lot of kids don't want this. They just want to be able to get a real lunch at school. Many kids rely on lunch. I say be that person. You may be helping to put food in the belly of a kid that needs it.

Also, there are no other options now. Crappy lunch is THE lunch. So if you need to eat lunch at school, this is what you get.

It really is gross. Kids tried it once. Never again.

They’d have greater ability to provide better options if they were feeding fewer kids.
