Minnesota HF2387 reduces school food waste and provides free school milk without requiring students to take a full lunch.

Minnesota HF2387 aims to reduce school food waste and ensure students have access to milk. The bill encourages schools to participate in a state-supported school milk program for kindergartners and for students who choose milk instead of a full school lunch. Schools are reimbursed for each half-pint of milk served to kindergarten students and those who bring a meal from home or forgo a school lunch. The bill also appropriates funds for these programs, effective for fiscal year 2026 and later.
