Sierra Prince, in 8th grade, is diabetic and also struggles with learning disabilities. On Wednesday, the young lady arrived in the school cafeteria at the end of the lunch hour and wanted a slice of pizza. According to the school, she had also been "dosed" with insulin in order to have a slice of pizza. She requested the pizza and got a slice. But it's where that slice came from: Cafeteria workers admit to taking a piece of the pizza out of the trash and giving it to the student.
Prince told a local television reporter that she did not want to eat the slice pulled from the trash, but was only doing what her school-appointed aide told her to do.
Sierra's mother, Nicole Cordoba, was not pleased and filed a complaint with the school district. The reaction was swift. The district fired off a letter condemning the actions of the cafeteria workers and the aide.
