No Hungry Kids in Schools Act

This bill allows states to implement a statewide program under the National School Lunch Act, enabling all schools in the state to receive federal reimbursement for free meals without needing to individually verify student poverty levels. It removes the previous requirement that schools must meet a minimum percentage of low-income students (setting the threshold to zero) and simplifies eligibility by calculating student need across the entire state instead of per school district. Schools in participating states would no longer need to conduct individual student eligibility screenings for free meal programs, streamlining access. The policy directly affects public school districts and students in states that adopt this statewide approach, ensuring all enrolled students receive free meals without administrative barriers.
