“We never turn our child away”: Idaho Falls Schools feed kids despite $38,000 deficit

Concerns about student hunger and unpaid lunch balances are raising questions for families in eastern Idaho, but school officials say no child in District 91 is turned away from a meal.

“We never turn our child away,” said Vanna Merrill, assistant child nutrition supervisor for District 91. “No matter if they owe money or whatever, we always feed the child.”
