Funding increase for school safety and local optional aid for schools; state-paid free school lunches criteria modification

This bill modifies Minnesota's school meal program by restricting state-paid free lunches to families with incomes at or below 500% of the federal poverty level. It increases state funding for school safety initiatives and adds new local optional aid for schools. The bill creates an "enhanced school meals program" for schools serving high concentrations of low-income students, requiring written policies to prevent "lunch shaming" and guarantee all students receive meals regardless of payment status. These changes take effect for fiscal year 2027 and later.
