DALLAS – Just because next week is Spring Break doesn’t mean Dallas students will go without their free breakfast and lunch.
District officials announced this week that the government breakfast and lunch programs will proceed on schedule through Spring Break, with more than two dozen schools opening up cafeterias from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. to noon throughout the week.
Anyone 18 years old or younger can come in for the “free” food, NBC DFW reports.
Michael Rosenberger, executive director of the Dallas Independent School District’s Food and Child Nutrition Services Department, told WFAA it will cost $10,000 in extra labor to feed students over the five days. That’s presumably on top of the cost of the meals themselves.
Rosenberger said the “expectation” is the district will provide students free food for “every Spring Break from here on out.”
The program was offered at six schools during the 2016 Spring Break, and officials more than quadrupled that figure with 27 schools for 2017.
Sam Tasby Middle School counselor told WFAA the free food giveaway is as much about fighting hunger as it is about control.
I want to see what happens when they stop serving meals during ramadan.
Now baby mama can spend her ssi on booze an weed.
Well this is one way to insure that money allocated for food, is spent on food. I have no problem feeding hungry kids. I have a big problem freeing up EBT cash, for crack.
Free breakfast and lunch. They could have free dinner too, except Donald Trump hates kids!
Will they be getting free condoms and hypos, too?
It would be interesting to see how many of those that are being fed aren’t students from those schools. If they do get the kind of traffic indicated in the story it may well be worth while however I would think those programs should be financed by the city or state not the feds. I wonder what the menu’s are?
The schools do the same thing here, except they are expanding the program to include the summer break too.
Now baby mama don’t have to roll out before the crack of 3:00 PM and somebody else keeps the tricycle motors out of the house. The chirren just hang at the school playground until they know they won’t get beat for showing back up in the yard of the Section 8 housing.
Have been doing Summer break around here for years. And yes, most recipients have EBT cards already. Soup kitchens are springing up all over. Caring moms drag their kids to the soup kitchens so baby mamma has blow and bling money. Wanna take a wild ass guess as to why most the tattoo parlors are on the bus line???
Heres a solution. Ban ebt and food stamps. Put government food trucks on every corner serving burnt white toast and water. (Driver carries no cash)

What about the unnecessary CARBON FEETPRINTS!?!?!?!
Maybe they are trying to use up those left over obamameals.
If ever there was a thread…
Why don’t the incubators simply skip the hosp
& birth directly at school. Sure they’ll be outraged at tax time when the school takes the deduction, but they’ll continue the cycle.
Momma (and possibly baby daddy) expect teachers to discipline, feed, provide instruction on sexual positions and social justice clubs/methods. But keep all things Christian away from mah child.
@miss you.
yup i can hear it now . . .
Just rename the school’s gulags and the Demos will be happy and successful. It’s their dream to incarcerate all Americans of any age in their idea of a controlled utopia!
This program cost 20 billion in 2014 with 2 billion in over payments or fraud.
On its current path it will grow to 31 billion in 2025.
Like judgeroybean (above) our central Texas area (pop. approx. 200K) has served breakfast and lunch, but year ’round for quite some time. There are a bazillion food pantries, including the almost 30,000 sq ft county food pantry (newly expanded), constant food drives, 2 college campus pantries and food drives etc. etc. I, for one, am totally tapped out thinking of how much we all get robbed to pay for the existence of the moochers.
this is a hand out to agriculter. but it only works for taxpayers if the kids get govrnment surpluss mac & chees, and MREs every meal.
The government should not be in the business of charity because taking my money to give to someone else in the name of “kindness” is still theft.
And if you ever had a shred of doubt left whether schools are places of education or social service factories, please consider that question fully answered.
Don’t we already spend $21,000 a year per student, only to be out of the top ten in world education?
I would think $21k would already INCLUDE meals for students.
