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.
I am a special education teacher for public schools in an urban district. Of all the education communities I am a part of through regular mail, email, or magazine subscriptions, Colorín Colorado is by far my favorite; the most helpful,
and the most user-friendly. Keep up the great work! I look forward to every newsletter via email.
