Vt. funds statewide universal school meal program
June 1, 2022
Vermont Gov. Phil Scott has signed a bill to allocate funding for universal school meals during the 2022-23 school year, giving legislators time to find the money to continue the program beyond 2023. A surplus in the state's education fund created the statewide program as well as a farm-to-school initiative that enables schools to purchase locally grown products for meals.
