Lunch debt accrues when students can’t pay off what they have purchased to eat, and Deer Valley Unified School District told ABC15 that debt follows the student from elementary school. Schools will always give lunch to students even if they can’t pay for it, and find other ways to work with parents in paying the outstanding amount, but students received an early Christmas gift from a local business. #upliftingarizona #lunchdebt #arizona #school #deervalley #abc15
