A student was reportedly denied a lunch at a high school in Alabama because he couldn’t pay. Then, the lunch was thrown into the trash, a woman claimed.

The woman, Laurie Brown, said the student was transferred to Foley High School in Baldwin County due to the impacts from Hurricane Michael, which hit the southern United States in October.
