Sorry, I know this sounds "insensitive" BUT, since when is it the school's responsibility to feed kids breakfast, lunch and sometimes dinner, especially in the Summer when school isn't even in session? I am aware some kids don't have food available at home but this is yet another example of shifting responsibility from parents to someone else, in this case, the school system who's primary objective is to educate, NOT provide social services.  I'm sure charities can provide this service as effectively or even better. I always think of programs like these when a school levy is on the ballot because I don't think this is an effective use of tax dollars. Like I said before, charities can provide this service. We need to stop expecting local, state and federal government to fix all of society's ills. For every family that genuinely depends on this feeding service, there are just as many lazy parents that will sleep in and tell the kids to "go to the library and get something to eat"
