Quoted in this story today along with two incredible school nutrition directors who also advocated for #SchoolMealsForAll
In California, the free meals program for all, no questions asked, has helped erase the stigma felt by some and other concerns surrounding picking up a school lunch. nyti.ms/3ioTzWk

Most schools schedule lunch before recess & students will rush or even skip lunch to go play. Putting recess first makes time for both, and evidence shows kids eat more food and healthier options if they’ve had a chance to run around outside before lunch. schrier.house.gov/media/pres…

Maya Kim, a CA teacher who dressed up as #SchoolMealsForAll for #Halloween said #children were chanting #FreeSchoolLunch as she came by in the #halloweenparade. This is a movement! Congress should follow #CaLeg #CaBudget lead, pass #BuildBackBetterAct w/ free meals.
Oh you saw my sister

California became the first state in the nation to provide all students free breakfast and lunch. The move will reduce absenteeism and nurse visits while improving learning, advocates say. nyti.ms/3D0jawH
Lots of replies here about limited time to eat lunch. This is a district administration <> union issue. I’d love to see parents campaign for adequate time to eat at the local level. Show up!
"The real question—that may very well determine whether or not universal free lunch becomes a permanent part of the American education system—is: Will Nice White Parents let our kids eat school food?"
