Have a Great Summer! See You in September!
The Loss of Universal Free Meals for Students
The USDA's program to provide free school meals to all students, regardless of family income, will expire at the end of this school year. This will have a huge impact on children and families around the country, including here in Beacon.
There has been a lot of advocacy around this issue, including from NY lawmakers (https://bit.ly/3xsFHCn).
We urge parents and caregivers to join the call for Congress to extend the federal program through next school year, and to make it permanent across the country.
Anyone who would like to advocate on this important issue is welcome to use the BCSD statement as a template, and can easily find and email their representatives by going to the Lower Hudson Education Commission's Voter Voice platform (http://www.lhec.org/votervoice.html) and clicking on School Meals for All.
