Endorse “No Shame at School Act”

The “No Shame at School Act” (S. 1907/ H.R. 3366) would

Prohibit schools from taking any action that stigmatizes or shames students who cannot pay their meal fees.
Require school districts to certify students who are categorically eligible (such as students who are homeless or in foster care) for free school meals and take steps to determine if children whose households are accruing school meal debt are eligible for free or reduced-price school meals.
Allow school districts to claim free and reduced-price school meals retroactively for students who are certified to receive them during the school year.

By enacting these provisions in the upcoming Child Nutrition Reauthorization, Congress can ensure that the school cafeteria is a positive and supportive environment for all students, more students who are eligible for free and reduced-price school meals will be certified to receive them, and school finances will improve.

The Senate bill was introduced by Senator Tina Smith (D-MN), and the House bill was introduced by Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN).

See FRAC's statement on the act.
