With inflation affecting every aspect of life across the board, Northeast Ohio schools are seeing a rise in parents unable to pay for school lunches which is increasing the school’s debt.
“Here specifically at Parma. We are very big on fresh local produce with high nutritional value,” said Emily Gladish, a nutrition services supervisor at Parma City Schools.
“When we came into this year, it was hard to get families to not only update free and reduced applications but even fill out new ones,” said Bailey. For Cuyahoga Falls, the school district is looking at $15,000 debt compared to the $1,000 in 2019. At Parma City schools, the debt is now $11,000 which is double from the past.
“At this point, we're not, but that's not out of the question and we're looking into maybe changing some policies,” said Bailey.
