How 2 districts are handling unpaid meal balances and lunch shaming

Lunch shaming has become a hot topic among K-12 operators. Here, two districts discuss how their program has handled the dreaded discussion of unpaid meal balances.

A bill that would disallow schools from denying lunch to indebted students was passed by the state Senate Thursday. The legislation now goes to Gov. Jerry Brown.

Wicked Eats will offer globally inspired street food. Guests will be able to customize each dish with their choice of protein, vegetables and sauce.

With the press of a button, students can offer leftover food to their peers. The food cam is the latest sustainability effort from Emerson College in Boston.

The station was switched to full service to foster food safety and fight waste.

Reusable thermoses will take their place in the dining hall.

Students will be able to create their own dishes based on rotating themes, such as “street taco Mondays." Pre-prepped ingredients will be used to assemble the dishes.

The foodservice industry has been at the forefront of helping those affected, and noncommercial operators in the path of the storm were some of the first to offer aid to local communities.

The initiative is expected to reach an extra 200,000 students in the nation’s biggest school district. It is not anticipated to cost the city additional money.
