House passes universal meals bill

“Vermont’s K-12 schools are one step closer to providing free meals to all students — at least for another year.

This week, the Vermont House of Representatives passed S.100, a bill that would supply breakfast and lunch to all students for the 2022-23 school year.

With pandemic-era provisions guaranteeing free meals for K-12 students set to expire June 30, anti-hunger advocates have been pressuring lawmakers to take action to keep kids fed for free.”
