In June, federal waivers ensuring every student in the nation had access to free school meals expired. As a result, more than 726,000 New York students lost access to free school meals.

Funding healthy school meals for all would change the game. Studies have shown a direct link between healthy meals and improved academic performance, boosted attendance, and better classroom behavior. With state funding, nearly 2,000 additional schools would be able to provide universal free school meals for all students.
