@webbureaucrat @kensanata (a) those forms are actually hard to get families to do for a variety of reasons including embarrassment, literacy, being busy & losing/forgetting, being afraid of the immigration police, etc. (b) even when students get free / reduced lunch it’s often a thing that marks the kid and can feel degrading. I was a free lunch kid. It made me feel bad about myself for no good reason.
We should have free food for all kids. It’s easier & no forms or degradation require.
