Plain-English summary
School Meals during School Closures Act
This bill allows states or eligible service providers (e.g., school districts) to request a waiver of certain requirements to continue providing no-cost and reduced-cost meals to students during certain school closures. The Department of Agriculture may provide a waiver, with exceptions, to provide meals and meal supplements during a school closure due to
- a strike or other labor-management dispute;
- inclement weather, a natural disaster, a public health emergency, unsafe facilities, construction, or repairs; or
- other unanticipated events.
