Lawmakers have not yet agreed to extend the waivers past June 30 in the full-year spending package unveiled early Wednesday morning.
California became the first state in the nation to announce it would offer free school meals to all students this year, regardless of family income.The waivers have also had a big impact on providing children with meals over the summer, which typically has much lower participation than in-school meals. More communities can offer free food to all children at summer programs, thanks to the waivers.
The waivers have also made it easier for child care and after-school programs to provide food to their charges, enabling them to distribute free meals to all kids. Also, parents can pick up food if their children can't participate. The spending package could allow the waivers to continue for the 2022-2023 school year. Federal government funding expires on Friday at midnight.
"Instead of continuing the bipartisan tools and flexibilities to help safely provide meals to students during school and over the summer, which could easily be done in the omnibus, Republican leadership has said no and decided that they prefer to let our kids go hungry," said Michigan Sen. Debbie Stabenow, chair of the Senate Agriculture Committee."This is a disgrace!"
