First came lunch, then breakfast. Now, schools are serving dinner, too.
Should schools feed students dinner before they go home?
There’s a growing demand for schools to feed students dinner before they come home, according to the Associated Press.
Many low-income students are already provided with breakfast and lunch while they are at school. As part of the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act—a law signed by President Obama in 2010—a pilot program was developed to provide free or low-price meals after school as well.
As of last year, about 1 million students across the country received dinner or an after-school snack before going home.
