The first week back at school, parents said all of the food that was served was cold and that for children who rely on free lunch, a hot meal is important.
District officials allowed Fernandes to come inside the cafeteria and the kitchen at Hawthorne because they wanted to show off the renovations. The school did some serious upgrades and because of that, they had to serve the food cold.
