Wake County cafeteria workers plan 'sick-out'

Gerald Deborah we're talking about 32 schools in the state's

largest school district impacted by this sick out now

School officials say that they are making every effort to

make sure that these students are Fed but there's no

guarantee that the food service will be offered tomorrow

Some parents received this text message tonight which reads in

part due to staff shortages at your child's school

No meal services on Tuesday

This message caught many families off guard and comes on

the heels of Wake County schools

Bus drivers stick out that lasted two full days at

the end of october some 160 busses were left without

drivers tonight

I spoke with Christina jones

Her Children attend briar Creek Elementary

It's one of the 32 schools impacted by the sick

out

She tells me that she and other parents are working

on collecting food items like fruit and sandwiches for Children

who really need them

All these Children they need to have full bellies because

otherwise why what do they get why reading in school

they can't learn if they can't focus and they can't

focus it again they don't eat

Now this impacts a lot of those low income families

with Children who have really depend on getting their nutrition

from the school

We will be watching closely how the board of education

addresses this matter during their meeting tomorrow

Back to you erin thomas live in Raleigh

Thank you erin I'm Mark boiling the WRL Live center

The information parents the students want to know on our

website WRL dot com on our app

You see this blue logo right there

All you have to do is tap on that and

you'll see that entire list that Aaron was just talking

about

This is the headline here tonight

Wake county warns cafeterias sick out could affect the meal

service

Many schools already updating their website in the information right

here

This is from Oak View Elementary it's likely your Children's

school will be unable to provide regular meal service on

Tuesday late tonight

I did speak with keith sudden the chair of the

school board and ask them what they're doing tonight to

make sure Children do have food tomorrow

Well we're asking you know that if they can uh

you know send students to school with a meal um

you know with food a pack of sandwich or lunch

or what have you uh were put into contingency plans

in place uh now so that students will not go

without food uh tomorrow

And I press sudden little bit asking what those contingency

plans look like as they work through them right now

It could be as simple as just ordering in pizza

for students

And if there's no pizza available nearby they could go

to a restaurant and do take out but they are

working right now to make sure there is food on

the table for lunch tomorrow

This definitely is going to evolve overnight as we get

new information and the list that's updated on our website

could grow our morning team
