A Wainuiomata principal says having a targeted approach on the free school lunches scheme would be impossible to manage.
Her comments follow a group of teachers, principals and board of trustees uniting to urge Prime Minister Christopher Luxon to keep funding for the free school lunches programme.
Their concerns come as Associate Education Minister, David Seymour wants to cut up to half its funding.
Ka Ora, Ka Ako was launched in 2019 and currently feeds 230,000 students.
Principal Tute Mila told Morning Report last year the school moved to a system where it employs staff to cook the lunches, and the children eat together each day.
