January 30, 2025
North Carolina Gov. Josh Stein, who supported the concept of free meals for all students when he was campaigning, said during a visit to Eastern Elementary School in Greenville that he planned to talk with the state budget director about the topic. "I want to make sure we do the best we can within our budgetary constraints to make sure that as many children as need food get that food so they can sit in that classroom and soak up knowledge," said Stein.
