About 75% of public school districts report student school lunch debt at the end of each academic year. This is a growing problem — 40% of those districts had increases in their debt last year. California, unlike some other states, has laws prohibiting students from being shamed — publicly marked, or having to do chores to earn their lunch.
In the John Swett Unified School District, which serves the towns of Crockett and Rodeo, the annual school lunch debt this year is nearly $25,000. Not every family that could use some support qualifies for free & reduced meals.
These are extraordinary times of need, and many people are struggling to make ends meet. Helping eliminate this debt will families in JSUSD start the year without this particular stressor hanging over their heads, and without kids having to worry about it.
