School Meals at Risk in Indiana | Indianapolis News

Federal policy shifts are threatening free school lunches for hundreds of thousands of Indiana kids. New federal rules have slashed SNAP and Medicaid enrollment, jeopardizing schools’ eligibility for the Community Eligibility Provision — the program that lets schools offer free meals to all students without individual applications.
