Rejected petition Make free school meals students eligible to purchase more food cost-free.
Rejected on
Allow students to take more food at lunch free of cost as that may be their only meal and the embarrassment of putting back what they cannot afford may affect their outlook towards school.
Students do not have the capability to reach their full potential without appropriate nourishment. They may just be a student at the moment but someday they will be the doctor operating on your child, or the financial advisor that will help you retire before you turn 50. My point being that investing in us is an investment in our economy and community.
