Comments on: Why Were No Northern Schools In Escambia County Picked For Free Meals?? http://www.northescambia.com/2015/08/why-were-no-northern-schools-in-escambia-county-picked-for-free-meals Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Fri, 03 Apr 2026 18:45:02 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Sara http://www.northescambia.com/2015/08/why-were-no-northern-schools-in-escambia-county-picked-for-free-meals/comment-page-2#comment-304975 Sara Tue, 18 Aug 2015 01:17:57 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=225274#comment-304975 The poor kids eat regular school lunch and the others eat all the chips soda cookies and "real Pizza" that's brought in and sold at the school. I sent in 48 pencils and my self didn't put one in the school box so my child was told today those are class supplies she needs to bring in hers tomorrow really!! I hope the schools supply printer ink and computer this year cause I'm not printing from home. If they want computer work done they can supply it because it wasn't on the list.

I did whatever it took to make sure my children had what they needed whether it be a hot lunch they bought at school or something they wanted from home. I don't agree with EVERY student at these schools getting a free lunch because some of the parents CAN afford it as I was able too ! They should send an application home with students like they have been doing for how many years now ?!! If they qualify, give them free lunch , if not, do as I did ... Whatever it takes. I can guarantee you that 99% of the students in these schools receive food stamps for their families ( which everybody else pays for ) and I guarantee they have the means of packing a lunch just like my kids did !

It's been a long summer, how blessed are those kids who finally got a decent meal today? Stop whining about what you don't have and spend more time on your knees thanking God for what you DO have.

Can it be used in the other school's to reduce their lunch or at least keep them from going up.

Does not make sense, but then nothing ESCAMBIA COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT does makes sense! Here is one to look into William..... Why is it that the ESCAMBIA COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT posts a school supply list county wide for each grade. Why not let the individual schools and grades make their own lists? My daughter has 4 children in school. With what the ESCAMBIA COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT put on the supply list my daughter had to buy 8 boxes of crayons just for 2 kindergarteners. (We got no "CRAM the VAN" supplies. My daughter was told all the folders that were REQUIRED on the ESCAMBIA COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT supply list were NOT going to be used at all. Why are we buying things that teachers don't want and don't need? Money is differently being wasted! Just because the School Board has money to throw away doesn't mean everyone does. Oh by the way we were told that supplies that weren't used we would get back at the end of the year. WASTE, WASTE, WASTE! I will never understand giving FREE lunches to a whole school!

To those who don't have children in one of the free lunch schools (such as myself) suck it up buttercup, maybe one day all schools will have free lunch for all kids as it should be. For those that complain that they should not have to pay for kids school lunches because they don't have kids remember that once you yourself was a child and probably would've benefited from a free school lunch. For those that are complaining about wasting "tax payer money" on "bums" here is something that will really grind your gears and is frankly a much worse waste of that same money "http://www.northescambia.com/2014/07/tax-watch-north-escambias-new-1-1-million-bridge-to-almost-nowhere". All schools should be free to all students because one day soon those kids will be the ones running the country that is why no one should begrudge those students anything. You want a better country it all starts in kindergarten people. So feeding hungry children is a problem now?

The reason the north end of the county doesn't get the goodies is because it doesn't vote socialist comucrat. Free food (or anything for that matter)='s votes. Shame the hard working north end voters are forgotten . You can tell that it’s getting close to election time.
