Iredell Free News is reporting that a group of parents is spearheading an effort to raise money to help Iredell-Statesville Schools students who cannot afford to pay for breakfast and lunch on school days. The group has launched “A Clean Slate for a Full Plate,” a crowdfunding campaign to raise money for I-SS schools, which otherwise would have to cover the cost of the meals from their operating budgets. The I-SS Board of Education has a policy that guarantees students are fed regardless of their ability to pay. During the first four months of the school year, students across the district racked up a $30,104 tab for school meals.
