STANLEY (WQOW) -- Some Stanley-Boyd students claim that staff members have tossed their meal in the trash, if they don't have enough money in their account.
Superintendent Jim Jones said the school district has been cracking down on lunch accounts that hit zero. He said they've been offering those students an 'alternative' lunch.
"We have not physically, no employee at the district has physically taken a lunch and thrown it in the garbage no," said Jones.
However, students and parents tell News 18 that is not the case.
"I guess I would have to call him a liar because he says straight up that he's never done that and his staff doesn't do it, and that's not true because we've as students have seen it happen," said a student at Stanley- Boyd who wants to stay anonymous because he was afraid he could get in trouble. However, he said he's seen this happen first hand.
"So this special needs student sat down and was eating lunch he grabbed his tray and said you don't have any money in your account and dumped his tray in the garbage and he did not offer him an alternate food option," said the anonymous student.
The student said it was the Principal Jeffery Koenig who tossed the food.
Denise Hoffstatter had heard about the incidents and decided to confront the school board on April 23rd.
"One of the administrations guaranteed me quote: Denise I promise you this has only happened once and it was some nachos," said Hoffstatter. .................
