A Lunch Lady Was Fired After Letting A Student Who Couldn't Pay Take $8 Of Food
she'd been told by her bosses to avoid any type of scene when a student couldn't pay because the vendor's contract was up for renewal. That contract was ultimately renewed, and on Friday, the school district said in a statement that it was working with the vendor and its employees to prevent any similar situation in the future.
Superintendent Amanda Isabelle added that she had heard from a number of parents about the circumstances around Kimball's firing. "As a school district, we understand the importance of rules and procedures, but upon reflection, I have become sufficiently convinced that it is wrong of us to assume that all the responsibility falls to the vendor, and I do not believe our communities would accept that explanation of this situation," she said."We must be accountable for the people who work in our schools."
