Principal orders pizza for 400 elementary school students due to food-service staff shortage

When all else fails, try pizza.
In a statement to Fox News, officials from Mitchell Elementary School in Philadelphia, confirmed that while meals had been delivered to the school the previous day, the food services staff member assigned to the school was unable to show up for work on Sept. 23.
According to the statement, "When Food Services staff are unavailable to be on-site at a school, the District’s policy is for schools to use contingency plans, including notification to the Food Services Field Supervisor to assign a roving employee to that site for coverage and/or by assigning non-Food Services staff to step in and manage meals distribution. Unfortunately, there was simply not enough staff available for this to happen at Mitchell."
