Yea, your right but I'm against the "free pass" to scam.
 
@Ladyfairlane : I agree under other circumstances. Just not when it comes to feeding children. Again, outward appearances don't always tell the whole story. Learned that years ago.
 
There will always be scammers. No moral compass. Not my circus, not my monkeys! Emoticon

@brightlights :
 
But no one knows who is applying and qualifies for assistance so can't really see how that plays a part in it.
 
I 100% agree there should be no hungry children, anywhere. You either qualify or you don't based on income. I don't know if the kids left and right of my DD's do or don't because I'm not in their business and don't know what their household income is. Pretty sure I'd be denied access to that info.
 
But hell, that $1200 Loui Vuitton I've been dreaming of looks to be within my clutches if I do the math.
 
Let's just say that school breakfast is $2 and school lunch is $3. With 180 days of free school food I can choose to take whether I need it or not....
 
That's a whopping $900.00.
 
Not that I'd ever do that but many tick that way as you said. Makes me crazy. 🤪😂

@Ladyfairlane : Exactly. Then don't fret about those who do. Nothing you can do about it...it'll drive you batty! 😀

@Ladyfairlane :
This is going to happen with any free program, some will cheat. If we waste the time and money on weeding through it all, nobody would receive help. Its just how it works, unfortunately. In this case, I say take the pie, don't stress it. Its allocated, can't change that.

@brightlights :
 
Uhgg! Your right. ❤️
 
I'll start preparing myself for when this all ends and those that never deserved it in the first place will be b****** because they believe that it's suddenly their right to have free lunches at school and took on that additional $100 a month in movie channels with Comcast. 😂😂😂😂

I guess I just feel that the extra money could better serve things like more protection for teachers who fear that they may get covid by showing up for work.
 
@Ladyfairlane : State and federal programs are dedicated funds can't be used for anything else. Pay for lunches or loose it. Crazy but at least the children get to eat.

@Ladyfairlane : I'm not sure exactly what you meant. But there is most assuredly a vetting process for those applying for free and reduced meals.

bap : I guess I just feel that the extra money could better serve things like more protection for teachers who fear that they may get covid by showing up for work. I'm still hearing that teachers are very fearful. Maybe better technology for parents that do not want to send their kids back to school but have dated computers or phones. (Maybe there's not enough extra for that though) Idk, just seems weird to me but happy that others can partake, I guess.
 
@Ladyfairlane : it's a USDA grant for this specific purpose. Not Humble ISD money.

Personally I think school lunches should be free across the entire country all year long.
 
We are behind other countries educationally because we have too many hungry children who can't concentrate in school through no fault of their own.
 
Our country spends far more money each year doing far less important things than feeding kids.

@Lace : I've gotten free lunch before with an application and it was never verified. And it's pretty well known that they don't, at least Humble didn't.

Im interested in how you know if your application
was verified ?
And rumors are just that.
Applications are verified. ( a %)
And all we can do is try to verify information provided.

@Lace : how would they verify it? You don't provide check stubs or w2 or anything of that nature. It just asked you to put down the amount you make
