(From Fourth District Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler)Throughout our nation and here at home, schools seek to provide nutritious lunches for our children at affordable prices.
We know students learn best when their fundamental needs are met. But if our state is forced to comply with burdensome federal regulations which increase costs, our children may be priced out of their current food program, creating unnecessary waste and hungry children.
That’s why I introduced the School Lunch Affordability Act which permanently puts the folks who know our kids best back in charge of their school lunch prices: Missourians — not Washington.
This legislation amends the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act to allow our local school districts who are operating in the black to continue serving school lunches at affordable prices, free from federal government burdens which would hamper the success of the program.
It’s time to stop Washington’s one-size-fits-all mandates and return local control back to local schools where it belongs.

Federal Gov't shouldn't be mandating anything for our schools.

Locals should be making all the decisions.
