WASHINGTON D.C., DC — Three U.S. Senators have introduced a bill that would cancel student lunch debt across the nation.
“‘School lunch debt’ is a term so absurd that it shouldn’t even exist," Sen. John Fetterman said in a press release."That’s why I’m proud to introduce this bill to cancel the nation’s student meal debt and stop humiliating kids and penalizing hunger." During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, federal lawmakers made the move to provide free lunch for every public school student in America. That specific program expired last fall, but many states have been rolling out their own universal free school meals programs and have seen sizable results.
There are over 30 million children in the U.S. who can’t afford their school meals, which contributes to the national public school meal debt totaling a staggering $262 million a year.
