So I’ve come across this piece of news where a so called „Arbys foundation“ payed 1000000$ to schools so that they can pay off their student‘s debts.
Now what I am wondering about, what does that mean exactly? Because what the article implies is that children are being indebted for free school lunches, which seems to lack a lot of nuance and would be illegal if it was true.
Does it simply mean that the schools themselves have to come up to pay, or is it a matter of the city government?
PS: I am German therefore I may have screwed up with the grammar and possibly the vocabulary too.

“free school lunches” *Cries in American*
The US doesn’t have free school lunches. You have to pay. If kids don’t have lunch money for that day/week they still get to eat but they get a debt added to their file their parents eventually have to pay. So the implication that children are being indebted to eat is 100% true.
Arbys is raising money to aid those families and pay the debt off for them.
