Kansas HB2637 mandates school boards to consider joining the community eligibility provision and allows financial hardship exceptions.

Kansas HB2637 requires eligible boards of education to consider participation in the community eligibility provision, which allows schools to provide free breakfasts and lunches to all students. If participation would cause financial hardship, the board can opt out after demonstrating this in a public meeting and voting. The state department of education must assist school districts in joining the program. This act takes effect upon publication in the statute book.
