AI Summary
This bill creates the Kentucky Proud School Match Program, which will reimburse eligible school districts 33 cents for each meal reimbursed by the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) at the paid rate. The CEP is a federal program that allows low-income schools to provide no-charge meals to all enrolled students. To be eligible, a school district must have at least one school or group of schools participating in the CEP and develop a Kentucky Proud school plan to identify and purchase available Kentucky-grown agricultural products and optimize food usage to reduce waste. The Kentucky Board of Education will promulgate regulations to implement the program. The provisions of the bill will be null and void if the CEP is terminated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
