A father who has been paying off school lunch debt with his own money and a Utah lawmaker agree that the state needs a long-term solution to school lunch debt.
Police identified 14-year-old Colt Gray, a student at Apalachee High School, as the gunman who killed two students and two teachers.to apply for lunch debt relief, but it will only cover a portion of the nearly $3 million owed statewide.“You really don’t know where these kids are getting their meals,” said DJ Bracken, founder of the Utah Lunch Debt Relief Foundation.
Bracken paid off the entire lunch debt for Bluffdale Elementary out of his own pocket and later founded the Utah Lunch Debt Relief Foundation to raise money to help pay off the rest of the state’s growing lunch debt. “Even if this $1.2 million was applied to their accounts today, we wipe the lunch debt off today, it will be back to millions of dollars next year,” Bracken said.
