Upper Darby steers own lunch program amid national push
Upper Darby School District remains outside the National School Lunch Program, one of only four of Pennsylvania's 501 districts to do so. Since 1982 the district has operated without a formal free lunch program, covering need through home and school groups and Aramark, the food service contractor. The district faced prior losses and deficits but reports a recent price rise and a small surplus, while officials say no formal eligibility system is needed as every child who needs a lunch gets one. The issue comes as Congress debates federal standards and funding.
