Federal Supported School Lunch Program At Stake
Washington March 14 The government supported school lunch program hangs by a thread with Congress wavering over a 50 million dollar request to extend funding through the new fiscal year. The House has voted to abolish it but it will be reconsidered and likely continue at least until June 30. The program started in 1935 to aid farmers and feed poor children, now serving 4.3 million children in 93,000 schools, funded through contracts with schools or organizations and paid up to 9 cents per meal. Supporters argue many families rely on low incomes and wartime dislocations, while opponents say the federal debt and employment are sufficient justification to end it. The Agriculture Department administers it now, but Education advocates propose shifting control to state education departments.
