Introduced Text

Kansas SB123 allocates state general funds for school meal programs and prohibits local boards from collecting fees for reduced price meals.

Kansas SB123 amends the state's school meal funding structure by providing state general funds for school meal programs. It entitles local school boards to receive $.40 for each meal served under the reduced price school meals program, starting from the 2025-2026 school year. The bill also prohibits local boards from collecting fees for these reduced price meals. If the total entitlements exceed the appropriated amount, the funds will be prorated among all boards. Additionally, the funds cannot be used for the purchase of identifiable imported meats.
