What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill directs the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) to administer two

pilot farm to school programs in rural school districts in which at least 65 percent of

the pupils are eligible for a free or reduced-price lunch in the federal school lunch

program. A farm to school program is a program that connects schools with nearby

farms to provide children with locally produced fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy

products, and other nutritious, locally produced foods in school breakfasts, lunches,

and snacks; helps children develop healthy eating habits; provides nutritional and

agricultural education; and improves farmers' incomes and direct access to markets.

The bill appropriates moneys to DPI to administer the programs and increases

DPI's authorized positions by 2.0 GPR positions for that purpose.
