Some Pinellas County (FL) high schoolers won't get lunch until school's over
Pinellas County high schoolers will have to wait until the end of the school day to eat a full lunch at 13 high schools.
The district allowed schools to opt-in to the end of day grab-and-go lunch. As of Wednesday morning, seven out of the district’s 16 high schools had chosen that option. By Thursday morning, six more opted-in, totaling 13 high schools participating in this program.
Pinellas County Schools PIO Isabel Mascareñas said the schools will make available at least one-snack break between classes with mobile carts operated by PCS Food & Nutrition staff set up throughout the school.
The snack bags, which will sell for $1, will be available throughout the school day.
Students on free or reduced lunch won’t get that benefit with the snack option; they’ll still have to pay the $1 charge.
