Unrepentant school officials basically say screw the parents

For one, neither the school district’s federal programs director, Joseph Muth, who was the one who signed the letter, nor the district's school solicitor, Charles Coslett, seem to think they did anything wrong.

"Hopefully, that gets their attention — certainly did, didn’t it?" Coslett said in a joint interview with WBRE. "I mean, if you think about it, you’re here this morning because some parent’s crying foul over he or she doesn’t want to pay a debt. A debt attributable to feeding their kid. How shameful."
