No Shame at School Act of 2024

S 5200, the No Shame at School Act of 2024, prevents schools from stigmatizing students whose families owe unpaid meal fees. It requires schools to directly certify eligible students for free meals (instead of allowing discretion), prohibits physical segregation or public identification using special tokens or name lists, and bans withholding grades or activities over unpaid fees. Schools must provide clear application materials to households with unpaid fees and cannot use debt collectors or send fee reminders directly to students. The bill directly affects students in households with unpaid school meal fees who participate in the National School Lunch Program.
