Creates the "Hayes Act" governing school meals

This bill, known as the "Hayes Act," requires certain schools to provide free lunch to students who qualify for reduced-price lunch under the National School Lunch Program. The state board of education would reimburse schools for the cost difference, subject to available funds. The bill also creates a "School Meals Fund" to support these reimbursements and prohibits schools from publicly identifying or stigmatizing students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
