School Lunch Affordability Act: Changes to Paid Meal Pricing.

This act changes the rules for setting prices for paid school lunches. Now, only schools with a negative balance in their food service account from the previous year will be required to set prices for paid lunches. This means some schools may no longer be obligated to charge for lunches, potentially impacting household budgets.
Key points
Schools with a positive financial balance from the previous year will not be required to set prices for paid lunches.
This could mean lower costs or no charges for student lunches in some schools.
The change aims to improve the affordability of school meals for families.
