(Idaho State Journal) Pocatello Mayor Brian Blad weighed in Wednesday afternoon on the controversial recent firing of local lunch lady Dalene Bowden.
By that night Pocatello/Chubbuck School District 25 announced that it has offered to reinstate Bowden at Irving Middle School.
Bowden was fired last week after she gave a free lunch to a 12-year-old girl who didn’t have any money. Bowden offered to pay for the $1.70 lunch. But her supervisor refused and she was placed on leave and then fired two days later.
