Lunch lady fired for giving free lunch to hungry student - chairman - 12-23-2015
POCATELLO — Last week, Dalene Bowden, a food service worker at Irving Middle School, was placed on leave after she gave a free hot lunch to a 12-year-old girl who said she was hungry and didn’t have any money.
Bowden has now received a registered letter from the Pocatello/Chubbuck School District informing her that she has been fired.
The brief, one-page letter was signed by District 25 Director of Human Resources Susan Petit. It states that Bowden was dismissed due to her theft of school district property and inaccurate transactions when ordering, receiving and serving food.
Bowden’s story garnered hundreds of comments on social media and an online petition was launched Saturday demanding that Bowden be reinstated as a lunch lady at Irving.

No Child Left Behind.....unless they are hungry! She did the right thing, she did the humanly thing! What if a child drops their tray and doesn't have money for a 2nd does that student also get to go hungry that day? Makes you feel like robots run this school district because anyone with a soul would have done this.
