Settle was inspired to start Settle the Debt, a nonprofit organization that pays off school meal debt at Prince William County schools. Danica Roem, D-Manassas, introduced House Bill 2013 that would prohibit school boards from suing families to collect school meal debt. HB 703 allows school boards to solicit donations to offset or eliminate school meal debt. “School meal debt as a concept should not exist and school meal debt shaming, likewise, should not exist,” Roem said.
