Our district is only doing lunch this year at various locations for up to 18 years old. Last year, they did breakfast and lunch and offered free to anyone 0-21.
Parents should not have to feed their kids. Taxpayers should be more responsible.
“”One in four students in Travis County are living in a food-insecure household”

And I GUARANTEE they dress well,have nice jewelry,and have better electronics than many in the USA.
Why waste money on food?

“Food insecure household” is one of those Millenial buzzwords that drives me just freakin’ nuts!
How are we supposed to teach our kids that there is NO FREE LUNCH when these people keep giving them free lunch?
Doing the same thing here in Cincinnati.
I wonder how many of these kids in “food-insecure” households are morbidly obese.
What about people who “identify” as under 18?
/sarc(?)
Didn’t you just post an article yesterday about how Austin property taxes are skyrocketing through the roof?
Well, as you know and I know, THIS is but one reason why.
>>>Last year, they did breakfast and lunch and offered free to anyone 0-21<<<
Age discrimination, pure and simple.
I find it hard to believe this “The district reports that more than half of their student population relies on that food because parents might have a hard time affording their next meal.” Since Austin wants to be a sanctuary city I’ll be they are talking about feeding the illegal alien dependents here.
Hey, what the Hell? Let the school feed the entire city -- kids and adults -- on the taxpayer's dime. Somehow we can shoehorn that into being "for the children" and everyone will be OK with it.
I always wonder, what about the childhood obesity epidemic?
They are always talking out of both sides of their mouths.
We have tremendous food insecure households and a childhood obesity epidemic at the same time, wow.
What do these ‘food insecure ‘ parents doing with their EBT? There was a lady who could put me and Mrs D together and we would weigh less then this lady in line in front of me. 100% Junk food and paid for it in her EBT. Oh, she was in a motorized scooter... The car she drove was a 2 year old Honda mini van eith $100 each rims... Amazing...
I’m so old I remember when schools were responsible for educating the students and the parents were responsible for feeding them. Oh well, our society has devolved to the point where we accept a half-a$$ education and crappy food engineered from byproducts as a normal way of life.
If you have an IQ > 80 then you should know the difference between a real education and daycare, real food and byproducts used for animal feed, or when free ain’t really free.
Dig in dumb-a$$es. All you can eat or steal and it’s FREE!
This is nothing! New Braunfels area district offer FREE breakfasts and lunches, ALL SUMMER, for kids and ADULTS!!
I remember seeing the billboards for it, either last or summer before last.
Unreal!!
