Stringfellow sent a letter to parents outlawing the practice immediately, stating the only outside food allowed was a student's lunch, brought or dropped off by a parent if the student forgot it.

You're here to deliver this to a child?'" Stringfellow said. Sometimes, parents ordered items for their children. Students used their cellphones to order take-out food bought to the school, Stringfellow said.
