Free school lunches
Our public education system should be a resource to give every child their best chance to thrive both in the classroom and in terms of their physical health. By giving every student no-questions-asked access to a reliable and healthy meal we can ensure that no student is going hungry while they are trying to learn. We can also save families time and money by giving them one less thing to have to think about.
Washington should join California, Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont, Colorado, New Mexico, Minnesota, and Michigan as states which have enacted free healthy school meals as a statewide policy.
