[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I worry most is that some FARM families may not realized they need to apply each year since last two years everyone received free lunches.[/quote]

There’s always been a lot of families that don’t realize they’re eligible. We should really be doing free lunches for all students.[/quote]

We should for need not kids who live in million dollar homes.  [/quote]

There's a point where it costs less to feed everybody than to figure out who is poor enough and only feed them. That's why some schools have free breakfast for all students, even the rich ones.[/quote]

Baltimore City schools has free breakfast and lunch for everyone. No forms to fill out. The only problem with this is the way they estimate poverty now. Instead of those income eligibility forms, they now use food stamp info. The problem with that is that undocumented people can't get food stamps so it makes the poverty rate seem a lot lower than it really is. Lower poverty rate means less funding for schools.[/quote]
