(Des Moines, IA) — Iowa school districts are about to resume classes without funding to provide free lunches for all students. Two years of pandemic aid ended in June, leaving districts scrambling to get qualified families to re-submit free or reduced-price lunches applications. Shenandoah Schools superintendent Kerri Nelson says their district is keeping lunches free through the Community Eligibility Provision. Nelson says the program will be a cost to the district, but it’s needed. Des Moines will provide free lunch to all students through the same program.
