AI Summary
This bill aims to increase public school participation in the community eligibility provision (CEP) of the United States Department of Agriculture. The key provisions include: 1) Requiring public schools with at least 40% identified students (those directly certified for free meals) to participate in the CEP, with an exception for schools that provide meals to all students at no cost. 2) Allowing school districts to group schools to maximize the number eligible for the CEP, even if individual schools have less than 40% identified students. 3) Applying these requirements to charter schools and state-tribal education compact schools. The bill also includes a provision that makes the changes null and void if specific funding is not provided by June 30, 2022.
