- 5 years ago
CRANSTON, RHODE ISLAND — The Cranston School District was crunching numbers when they realized they were $45,859 short in lunch money.
Looks like some parents weren't shelling out the cash, leaving Cranston officials less than pleased.
According to NBC 10 News, the school had already racked up $95,508 in unpaid lunch money in previous years and wasn't looking for a repeat.
So they decided to go straight gangster. They went full Don Corleone on the parents and hired a collection agency to help get their money.
The school announced that the collection agency, Transworld Systems, would begin collecting the Benjamins starting January 2019. It's not as hardcore as it sounds, they will be doing so via email. Boring.
However, the school promised the kids would still be fed, even if their parents don't pay the bills.
