You're seeing school systems that have well north of 50% free and reduced


lunch do just that. Some get as high as 90%. So it becomes silly and more costly to collect from the few that don't qualify. They may also be able to use their Title 1 funds for that, as most of those are also Title 1 schools.

But those aren't the kids that are delinquent. Those that truly can't afford it are already on free or reduced.

I would have no problem with a school system going totally free, but that basically means taking from teacher raises, building repairs, etc.
