A debate on school nutrition—trading pizza, fries, and cookies for whole grains, fruits and vegetables—has raged for years, while a parallel debate has gone somewhat unnoticed and unaddressed: What should be the consequence for children with delinquent school-meal accounts? And the result is hungry children, stunned parents, and increasing questions about how school districts handle overdue payments. A year-old in Dickinson, Texas had his school breakfast dumped over a 30 cent debt. And two years ago in Utah, some 40 students had their lunches seized for unpaid meal debts in a case that caused a national uproar. But behind the outrage lurks a larger issue.

According to SNA, the increases are most common in mid-sized school districts, and geographically concentrated in the Northeast and Southeast. To strike a compromise, many districts establish policies to feed students unable to pay for a hot school meal. In the SNA survey, a majority of districts had either a formal policy 46 percent or informal procedure 29 percent for students who lack the funds to pay for breakfast or lunch.
