Camp Curtin School students are getting cold sandwiches for the week as punishment for acting up and being unappreciative of the hot meals being offered in the school’s cafeteria, an administrator said Wednesday.

“We created the opportunity where we could show them what the bare minimum would be,” the administrator said, adding that the bare minimum remained a balanced meal including fruit and vegetables.

The administrator, who did not want his name used, said that some parents and students did not understand the measures taken to correct behavior issues, such as students not cleaning up their eating area.

Since the corrective action was taken, the administrator said, student behavior has improved.

Normal hot meals will be served starting Monday at the Harrisburg School District school.
