Free Meals for All Students Beginning in the 2022-2023 School Year

Providing two nutritious meals for every child who requests is part of AB 130 passed by the legislature starting in the 2022-23 school year. For the 2021-2022 school year, districts may also apply for a waiver to begin this option early. However, the reimbursement level does not cover the expenses, and the legislature has not dedicated funds to cover the difference. Districts accepting the waiver may not charge families the difference. SCSD will be exploring options to participate including comparing food service providers to participate next year. If we can provide it earlier, we will message to our families.

The bill, commencing with the 2022–23 school year, would require a school district or county superintendent of schools maintaining kindergarten or any of grades 1 to 12, inclusive, or charter school to provide 2 nutritiously adequate school meals free of charge during each schoolday to any pupil who requests a meal without consideration of the pupil’s eligibility for a federally funded free or reduced-price meal, with a maximum of one free meal for each meal service period. The bill would require the department to reimburse local educational agencies for all non-reimbursed expenses accrued in providing United States Department of Agriculture reimbursable meals, as specified. This provision would be operative only if the Legislature appropriates funds for its purposes. The bill would require the department to develop and adopt regulations to implement this provision, as specified. To the extent that this provision would impose new duties on local educational agencies, it would constitute a state-mandated local program.
