FORT BEND COUNTY, TEXAS — A Texas mom says her 12-year-old son was denied school lunch from a cafeteria worker because of a debt less than a buck. <br /><br />Sixth-grader Matt Williams says he refused lunch at James Bowie Middle School for having a negative account balance of 50 cents. <br /><br />"I was hungry, my head hurted, I felt kind of dizzy a little bit," Matt told KIAH. <br />Apparently, before the Christmas break, Matt was trying to get a drink and a bag of chips. <br /><br />When it got time to pay, the lunch lady told him he didn't have anymore money left on his account and that he was out of luck. <br />According the Matt and his mom, students and even faculty often carry negative balances and can still get food. <br /><br />The principal has since reached out to Matt's mom to apologize.
