Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill changes a federal school meal law so more schools can serve free meals to all of their students. Under the community eligibility program, a school, group of schools, or school district can offer free meals to every student if a set share of its students are already identified as eligible for free meals. The bill sets that minimum share, called the identified student percentage threshold, at 25 percent for each school year beginning on or after July 1, 2025.
