Updates school nutrition statutes to modify meal application processes and alternative breakfast service requirements.

This bill updates Maine's education law by changing how schools handle applications for free or reduced-price meals. It allows the Department of Education to develop and implement an Internet-based application for these meals, which public schools can make available on their websites. Schools must still distribute paper applications to all students. The bill also removes an exemption for certain school administrative units from the requirements of alternative breakfast delivery service, which provides breakfast after the start of the school day.
