[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I appreciate that this is a tough call in a big county with a large bus fleet. There are, however, safety implications to leaving kids home, especially when they have been home 22 of the last 24 days. Unfortunately kids will be left alone and kids who depends on free lunch may not be getting fed. [/quote]

PP, of interest to you might be interested in the thread here on "moving the needle." I'd argue that it is not the schools' responsibility to ensure that all students are fed.  That falls squarely on the parents.  [/quote]

This.

Hit up the food pantry. There are plenty of services available. School is in the business of education, not hunger avoidance. Many won’t like that, but it is what it is. Time for parents to start parenting.[/quote]

DP.  The schools' primary responsibility should be educating kids, but there is nothing wrong with providing other social services through the schools.  I agree that parents should parent, but I'm ok with schools stepping in to make sure that kids aren't going without food.  [/quote]
