Maddy summaryThis bill requires New Jersey public school districts to provide parents or guardians with written information about the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, along with an application form, at the start of each school year or during a student's initial enrollment. Districts must also obtain either a completed application or a signed card confirming parents declined participation, making at least one follow-up contact if neither is received. The bill mandates that all materials be provided in a language the parent understands and includes provisions for districts to assist families with applications. It applies to all schools not already participating in the Community Eligibility Provision, which automatically provides free meals to all students. The law aims to increase access to free/reduced-price school meals by simplifying the application process for families.
