Record 3.1 Million California Kids Getting School Meals
Education Week
More than 3.1 million California public school students are now enrolled in a school meal program because of their family's poverty status, the state Department of Education said Tuesday. The number of meals served jumped a record 4.5 percent in the last school year, more than four times the average yearly increase. The rate is expected to climb even more steeply this year as families cope with the economic crisis. School districts are feeling the brunt of it, too, as they struggle to feed more kids nutritious meals without more money from the state.
As our ENL team is planning a parent night we love the Reading Tip Sheets! We
were so excited to see that they are available in 11 languages. Thank you!
