District to Kids: Pay Lunch Accounts or No After-school Activities

摘要

Getting students and families to pay their overdue lunch accounts is not a new problem for school foodservice operations. One Ohio school district is trying a new tactic: restrict students from extracurricular activities until the account is paid up. The Switzerland of Ohio Local School District, in Woodsfield, Ohio, said students who owed more than $50 in lunch bills would not be allowed to participate in extracurricular activities. According to WTOV9, the district's Superintendent Larry Elliot said many parents have paid up their accounts since the announcement.
