Introduced
by
To prohibit a public school from publicly identifying a student who can’t pay or owes money for a school lunch, by requiring the student to have a wristband, handstamp, alternative meal or other means, and also prohibit requiring him or her to perform chores or other work. Schools would be prohibited from communicating about this at all with a student less than age 15, and would have to contact the parents or legal guardian instead. Schools would also have to provide a “US Department of Agriculture reimbursable meal” to any student who request a meal, regardless of a pupil's ability to pay.
