First, I had the wrong school district, but there are two districts in Aurora, CO.
The person who responded to me said she knows the director at the subject school district, and that the kitchen director was fired for a reason different than what was stated in the news story. She said that " I am sure you know that not all information provided by the media is accurate and can be sensationalized." This person's feeling was that the director had good cause and to give her the benefit of the doubt.
She went on to clarify the policy at her district, which was stated as: " We never refuse a meal to a child. We let them charge their meals and contact the parents about the bill. However, many of our students are on free and reduced meals. Cherry Creek has low free and reduced."
So the problem seems to be the policy, which is that Cherry Creek only has "low free," but not free.
