Cafeteria lady quits over district’s ‘lunch shaming’ students with overdue accounts

CANONSBURG, Pa. – A Pennsylvania lunch lady quit her job last week over a “disgusting” school lunch policy that’s leaving students with rumbling stomachs, and she’s now sounding the alarm on Facebook.

Stacy Meyers Koltiska resigned from Wylandville Elementary School last Thursday over a change in the district’s lunch policy for students with overdue accounts she describes as “lunch shaming,” KHOU reports.

Koliska contends that Canon McMillan School District approved a plan over the summer to deny hot meals to students when their lunch accounts reach a debt of $25, and said she quit when she was ordered to enforce the policy.

Locally if they can't pay for lunch they get a stale cheese sandwich and juice or something.

It's dumb.

The school district has denied this happened, and I believe them (this is very near where I live). This woman made a mountain out of a molehill. If parents don't pay the bill, their kid isn't going hungry, he just gets the cheese sandwich instead of the hot entree. There's no shaming involved, only to the snowflake generation.
