school meals

School officials are working on policy changes that they say would improve students’ access to food. The changes would allow students to get an evening meal even if they aren’t in after-school care.

School districts would receive a record $10,050 per student, an increase of $442, and dedicated funding for universal free school meals would remain.

Governor Gretchen Whitmer is asking Michigan schools to keep making free breakfast and lunch available to all students – even though there's no budget yet for the program.
