quote:Carey, no idea how many did not eat. Here are a couple posts from parents on 5/25, as the last time it happened. The school confirmed the statements made. FYI:

I looked at this yesterday & was wondering...if we are to write to anyone, wouldn't we need something more specific than on Sat.May 28th someone posted on Punaweb that there were no lunches at Keonepoko...
Maybe if we had something concrete like the dates that the school ran out of lunches & how many students were not able to receive a lunch & were turned away.
Little things like facts really do help when contacting officials with problems...
1) Just read from a parents post that Keonepoko Elem . School ran out of food to serve all the students lunch. I'm really bothered to hear of these things going on!! I mean $3+ for the same maybe even ****ter school lunch then we had back in the day for 45 cents!!? Unreal and they need to fix that and feed all kids no matter what! I mean it's not their fault if no more money for eat especially at $3+ a meal!
2) My son is in 6th grade said they ran out earlier and they waited sometime after so they can còok more. but the younger children had it worst, didn't get to eat at all. When they got home they were starving. They were so hungry they smashed two ft longs in seconds!
There's several more complaints posted on 5/25, but too long to post here. Hope this helps in writing or contacting appropriate State departments. FWIW.
ETA: Separate comments / BTW, this is not the only school having this problem. Keaukaha Elementary also has had the same thing happen several times this year, and they don't even have a kitchen to "cook more". SMH.
