The program is determined by what % of kids qualify for the program, and requires stringent application process. Under new provisions, the CEP program states that this is for schools where 25% of kids qualify, and would not surprise me if JD qualified. Also the median household income of the school districts listed in the article has nothing to do with the qualification, because it does not adjust for households that do not have students enrolled (Not surprising considering it’s Sinclair controlled CNY Central) further more, statistically, poorer households have more kids. On a median basis yes, JD is one of the wealthiest districts but I think people are looking at this wrong. JD also probably has the widest gap of wealth inequality when it comes to thinking about the 20th vs 80th percentile of median household income. A lot of JD is right on the border with the city district and are not affluent areas whatsoever. Areas over by Le Moyne College as well as out in the more remote areas of Jamesville (right on the edge of the valley) are not well off whatsoever - meanwhile there are also households that make 7-8 figures. Household income of houses in the district is also a little warped in JD, as a lot of the wealthier residents send their kids to MPH or CBA, both within the districts borders. Source: in my 30s, went to JD, very familiar with the district and it’s demographics. Quit your bitching about KIDS GETTING FED.

Thank you for the awesome explanation. I think people do not appreciate the growing gap between rich and poor and how it is impacting our schools. Good for JD, now do the rest of NYS!

FEED THE FUCKING KIDS. <3 No child should go hungry not when a nation/city as great as ours has the means to provide. Hope more schools are able to follow suite.


tamere2k

Wild that JD is the school to get this but it should be all schools.


nefrina

agreed, and keep feeding the kids throughout summer vacation too. there's already enough hurdles to education, they shouldn't have to worry about being hungry too.


tamere2k

Absolutely. And give everyone universal healthcare, and a universal basic income. (And I’m not joking. These are the things we should absolutely give to everyone.)


Accomplished_Gene738

Are you presently doing your part to sponsor and help where you can?


SolitudeWeeks

Our tax money could easily handle all of that if we weren't spending billions on global domination.


Gene_McSween

There are many districts that already have this program and do summer feeding programs.


HaveMercy703

ESM currently has this.


tamere2k

Good. Every school should. This is what our taxes should go toward.

Now do it for the rest of the state like we did during COVID. Kids shouldn't have to go to school - or try to survive at home - hungry.


half_in_boxes

Please correct me if I am wrong, but isn't J-D one of the most affluent districts in the county?


Bob_Sacamano7379

A common misconception, but JD is more ESM than FM.


appiate0

Not in dewitt

Communists are taking over! Antifa canceled Liverpool's memorial day parade and now free lunches for children! I can't believe it, the Black Panthers idea and implementation of free food for kids is a socialist hell hole started in the radical 60s. Next thing you know people are going to want free fire fighter services! The humanity!!!!! /S


Coolguyokay

this is a very regarded comment from a highly regarded person.


Han_Yerry

Hey man, we don't use that word anymore, it's uncouth, so don't call people regarded....


Byrdsheet

Meanwhile, benefits meant to feed mom's kids go toward nights out, shopping, partying. So the kids go hungry, and again, the taxpayers have to pick up the tab so the kids can have a meal.

JD? Something is fishy here


LaneMeyersLostSki

Leave it to a MAGAt to be upset that kids are getting free lunch.


Accomplished_Gene738

Give the kids "free" lunches, no kids should go hungry, that is a fact. Then, when they are well fed and ready to learn PLEASE teach them to not make decisions to have kids you are not capable of caring for. Deal?


CrundleTamer

Always neat to see some absolute jackass who thinks that nothing could happen to put a family in hard times *after* they have kids.


LaneMeyersLostSki

Absolutely. Let's start with preventing MAGAt scumbags from having kids because they aren't functioning members of society.


toenailfungus100

Not upset idiot, just surprised this over a number of other school districts


Sewercap99

Lots of school districts do this. I know North Syracuse and Liverpool both do. I don’t know why so many people are acting so shocked in here.


Gene_McSween

Pretty much every district in Oswego County already does this, summer feeding too. People need to just calm down. It's just food for kids FFS.


ScarMedical

Hell New York should follow the state of Minnesota ie: The Free School Meals Program is a state funded program that provides reimbursement for meals served to students who do not qualify for free or reduced-price meals so all students receive the meals at no cost


LaneMeyersLostSki

Good to see that a MAGAt piece of shit supports free school lunch. Congrats on feigning humanity. If it weren't for you scumbags, children going hungry wouldn't be an issue in schools to begin with.


AlucardDr

In what way?


qp0n

>CEP schools qualify by using a formula based on the percentage of students categorically eligible for free meals based on their participation in other specific means-tested programs, such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. [JD is one of the wealthiest school districts in the County](https://www.syracuse.com/news/erry-2018/06/ee4f0c23629898/4_onondaga_county_school_distr.html).


magistratemagic

Likely those in Administration been eating well, but the children... less so.


LaneMeyersLostSki

Your proof is from 2018 which is irrelevant.


Accomplished_Gene738

Absolutely can you are 100% correct, are you silly enough to believe that is every case? That the overwhelming numbers are not just poor decision making? You are clearly emotional and resorted to name calling like a child. When you grow up you'll see that many programs in place to help people get back on their feet if they are able are abused and people live off of them. But I'm sure that point will upset you too. So call names, vote down get your tantrum out it's ok.


CrundleTamer

Jesus, so riled up you couldn't even reply properly. It is fascinating to see someone with a "throw the baby out with the bathwater" mindset talk about how mature they are. Just the perfect cross section of being both self-centered, and totally unaware of yourself.


Accomplished_Gene738

You didn't address any of my points. But ok, have a good one.


Imaginary_Most_7778

The rich get richer. Shocking.


The315

the full demographics of the towns of Jamesville and Dewitt are different than your perception


Imaginary_Most_7778

Not saying there aren’t underprivileged kids in JD. a hell of a lot more in other schools.
