There is no debt. In the schools I went to, you went to these things that were similar to ATMs and put money onto your account and then Hebe you went up for lunch you entered your account number and they took out the money for your meal

i never ran into that problem except one time in middle school (they didn't process the free lunch applications fast enough). got warned that i had money owed on my account. next day i didn't have issue.

back then i never saw anyone's lunch get tossed in the trash due to non-payment.
they did give a brown bag with sandwich instead if couldn't pay.

Some commodity lunch like a cheese sandwich and a milk. There are schools where you really have to try to drive up the kids lunch debt to get there because even they know it's not very filling it nutritious.

They threaten to not promote kids to the next grade even if they only owe $1 at the end of the year. Seems a bit excessive.

It's different in the poor sections of the LAUSD. Kids can't carry food out of the cafeteria. Any uneaten food has to be thrown away.

There's a very good reason for this. In the past, poor kids would take their cafeteria lunches home to their family so that the family could eat. As a result, the kids themselves didn't eat during lunch, which defeated the purpose of offering cafeteria lunches.

They get added to the juvenile list of delinquents. Anyone on this list will be reported to Credit agencies and they will have a naturally lower Credit score forever. Also Police have this list screened for anyone who is pulled or arrested to let the cops know to harass them more or have harsher sentences in court.

they had that during the early years of the pandemic.

everyone fell behind. social interaction was non-existent and there was so much door slamming and barking.
