Minnesota HF2201 increases local optional aid for schools and limits state-paid free school lunches to families with incomes at or below 500 percent.

Minnesota HF2201 amends education finance by increasing local optional aid for schools and limiting state-paid free school lunches to families with incomes at or below 500 percent of the federal poverty level. The bill also appropriates money for these changes. It mandates that schools participating in the national school lunch program adopt and post a school meals policy. The policy must communicate meal charges, prohibit lunch shaming, and address the use of collections agencies for unpaid meal debt.
