Child nutrition programs: school meals.

This measure would declare that the Legislature supports federal standards for healthy meals, including those standards recently adopted pursuant to the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, and it would urge the President and the Congress of the United States to ensure that reimbursement rates for school meals are adequate to fully fund the cost of producing a nutritious school meal relative to the cost of living in a region. The measure also would state that the eligibility scale used to qualify families for free and reduced-price meals be adjusted, as specified.
