New York schools have served over 150 million free meals since September, thanks to the states universal school meals program. This initiative, which provides free breakfast and lunch to all students, has saved families an estimated $165 per child per month and improved student learning, test scores, and attendance. With $340 million allocated in the state budget, the program ensures every student has access to essential nutrition, regardless of family income.
