Establishes a statewide community eligibility program for schools to ensure all students receive free meals.
The No Hungry Kids in Schools Act amends the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act to create a statewide community eligibility program. This program allows states to provide funding from non-federal sources to ensure that all students in participating schools receive free meals. The bill sets specific criteria for states to qualify for this program, including a multiplier, a zero threshold, and a calculation of identified students across all applicable schools in the state. The program aims to eliminate food insecurity among school children.
