Kizugawa school officials covered unpaid lunch fees with own money
Original: 木津川市
In Kizugawa, Kyoto Prefecture, a school principal and a former employee personally paid about 37 million yen in unpaid school lunch fees owed by parents, saying they were stuck in their duties. The revelation has raised questions in Japan about how schools handle fee arrears and why the burden fell on staff rather than official support systems.
Why now: The unusual admission that staff used personal funds to cover millions of yen in arrears is drawing attention to school fee collection practices.
