HB1238

This bill allows school districts to provide reduced-price meals to students whose family income falls below 209% of the federal poverty line, even if they don't qualify for federal reduced-price meal programs. The state will reimburse school districts for the cost of providing these meals to eligible students. The bill also clarifies that students who qualify for free meals through federal programs cannot be charged, and students eligible for reduced-price meals can only be charged amounts allowed under federal rules.
