Coronavirus and Schools: School Lunches
CORONAVIRUS UPDATE
Note the following in the Governor’s just-released school closing announcement:
"Also, the Pennsylvania Department of Education announced today that it received a waiver from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to allow eligible schools to serve meals to low income students in a non-congregate setting, such as a drive-through or grab and go, during this closure. We will also work with schools to assist them with those plans."
Looks as though school closing does not mean school cafeteria closing for schools serving free and reduced lunches. Exactly what “eligible schools” means is unclear from this announcement.
