HJ 267 Virginia House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

Commending Community Eligibility Provision schools in Virginia.

This bill formally recognizes and commends schools in Virginia that participate in the Community Eligibility Provision, a federal program that provides free breakfast and lunch to all students in qualifying schools. The legislation does not create new funding or policy changes but serves as a symbolic acknowledgment of these schools' achievements in serving their student populations. It directly affects school administrators, staff, and students in Virginia who benefit from the Community Eligibility Provision by highlighting their contributions to school nutrition programs. The bill is a ceremonial measure intended to honor rather than alter existing educational policies or funding structures.
