I think they should just cook for the staff and teachers too. Doesn't cost that much extra
Maybe, but the government tried to cut the funding, and after public pushback agreed to keep it but reduced the funding down to $3 per kid for the schools that get it. They admitted that it will be hard to find a lunch at that price level but reduced it anyway. I highly doubt the government is open to giving lunch to the staff as well as the kids.
