GREENSBORO, N.C. -- No money, no lunch; that's the policy Guilford County Schools may be changing. 

The board voted to seek public comment on a new proposal to help students whose accounts, run out of money.                             

Kayla Bryant is a freshman at Grimsley High School in Greensboro. Bryant said, at least two to three times a week she does not have the money to buy herself lunch.

"I don't have anything to eat throughout the day. I'm negative two dollars on my account and it won't let me get lunch." Bryant said.

She is forced to find other ways to eat; like ask her friends for their food or even ask her teachers. She said her hunger hinders her ability to focus in class. 

"If I'm hungry, I'm not going to pay attention," Bryant said.

Grimsely High School student, Nasir Jones, said he gets free lunch through the school district. He said a lot of his friends go hungry at lunch, simply because they don't have money.

"A lot of families are not as fortunate and they can't always pay for their lunch and I know a lot of friends of mine that can't pay for lunch and they usually don't eat," Jones said.

Kayla and many other high school students may not have to worry about this issue anymore.

On Tuesday night, the Guilford County Board of Education voted to seek public comment for a proposed change to its lunch charging policy. It would allow high school students to charge up to ten meals if necessary.

According to Guilford County BOE member, Byron Gladden, the current policy only allows elementary and middle school students to do that. 

"If what we mean is to empower children, as much as we can at the school level, then we have to include food and nutrition as a part of it because we recognize that as a priority for elementary and middle," Gladden said.

However, the proposed policy also clarifies no student will be able to charge a la carte items, such as chips and candy to their account. 

The Guilford County Board of Education will vote on the policy after a 30-day public comment period.
