Principal stopped school’s shaming free lunch kids with hand stamps, says it got her fired

[Laffy Kat]

3. I been hesitant to post but I was a part of all this!

Worked there off and on for years while I was going to school. Both my kids go there. All the "lunch ladies" were moms at the school. The hours were perfect but, of course, the pay sucked. As a charter, P2P is a non-union school so both the faculty and staff were underpaid. Anyway, I know Ms. Roni and she was a wonderful principal. Like at the lunch ladies, I was instructed to stamp the kids' hands if they were low on funds. Worse yet, if the parents didn't come up with the money, their children would be given a cold cheese sandwich instead of the usual hot lunch. It is impossible to stamp discreetly and I always felt terrible about doing it so I would usually "forget" unless the manager was hovering. The manager left right before Roni and I suspect it had something to do with this falling-out. BTW, I think just about all Boulder Valley Schools use a stamp, it's not just P2P. Hopefully this will help stop the practice.
