School Lunch System is VERY FRUSTRATING

My son is out of lunch money at school. Nobody notified me. My daughters that attend the same school have lunch money but cannot be transfered to him. Is this stupid or what?
Please send a monthy bill to parents and let them know how much they still have or need to pay every month. We are used to monthly bils.
Why is that even people have complained about this in the past nothing is being done?
What does it take to get this broken system fixed?
Isn't anybody else fed up with this system that doesn't work? Not all parents have a job that lets them run out to pay lunch money. PLEASE, create a better system to let parents know. And, while we're at it. I'd like to see a bill that shows me where the money went.

School lunch money

Schools rely on children to let parents know when they have a negative balance in their school lunch account. If parents don’t pay, they go hungry. I don’t know what the solution is here but hungry kids at school just don’t sound right.
I understand the need to put the pressure on parents to pay, but children, especially little children are not the most reliable source to get a bill into the parent’s hands.
How about a monthly statement? Just about everything else is billed on a monthly basis. I don’t know how much my children consume because it is not exactly the same every month so a bill could help. And how about family accounts? I had to leave work the other day to pay money into my son’s account (or he wouldn’t be fed) while my two daughters had a positive balance.
Does anybody have a suggestion? There has to be a better way of notifying the parents.

The Leavitts have a foundations and they also have rental property.
Their foundation is providng housing scholarships for SUU students. There is another foundation in the middle of this but the end result is that the Leavitt Foundation is providing the funds. The students that get these scholarships are staying at some of the Leavitt's rentals. So the money goes full circle. And here are my thoughts: So what?

Elections Recounts all over the world

I am so proud to live in a country where our politicians can handle winning and losing a lot better than politicians from other countries.

Airport in St George and Cedar

Cedar City Airport is nice and I am hoping the St George one when it is done is just as nice, but what I hope for the most is maybe more options for destinations. It is kind of a pain to have to fly to St Lake to go to Phoenix. I'd love to be able to fly to San Diego, Phoenix, somewhere in Texas and SLC from here. Who knows maybe that would increase tourism too!
