Referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
This bill expands access to school meals and ends the “reduced-price” category. It raises the cut-off for free meals so more families qualify, and it makes it easier for schools to approve kids for free meals without extra forms. It also updates funding rules so more schools can offer free meals to all students. It includes back pay for meals from the start of the school year once a child is approved.
