Bill overview
The No Shame at School Act of 2019 aims to eliminate the stigma associated with children who owe unpaid school meal fees. It mandates that schools cannot identify or treat students with unpaid fees differently, and it requires schools to proactively offer free or reduced-price meal applications to eligible families. The bill also addresses retroactive reimbursement for meal claims and ensures that students with unpaid fees receive the same meal options as other students, regardless of their financial situation.
