SB 950

Amends GS 115C-263 to require public school units to have a school food authority that offers two meals a day at no cost to students. Directs the State Board of Education to allocate funds to school food authorities based on an evaluation of the school food authority’s nutrition services. Requires the evaluation to account for school size, number of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, prior year funds expended, nutrient content and quality of food, whether food is locally sourced, and other information the Board deems relevant. Provides that the funds must be distributed on a fair and equitable basis at the beginning of each fiscal year (except the Board may reserve up to 10% for future allocation) and that funds allocated shall supplement (not replace) funds from other sources provided for the same purpose.
