School Lunch Affordability Act: Changes to Paid Meal Pricing.

This act changes how schools set prices for paid lunches. Now, only schools with a negative balance in their food service account will be required to set prices for paid lunches. This could mean some schools might stop charging for meals, potentially impacting family budgets.
Key points
Schools with a positive financial balance from lunch services will not be required to set prices for paid meals.
This change could lead to free lunches for students in some schools, easing financial burdens on families.
