AI Summary

This bill establishes 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 provides no-charge meals to all students in low-income schools. To be eligible, school districts must develop and implement a "Kentucky Proud" plan to identify and purchase Kentucky-grown agricultural products and optimize food usage to reduce waste. The bill creates a fund to be administered by the Department of Education to provide these reimbursements, and directs the Kentucky Board of Education to promulgate regulations to carry out the program. The provisions of the bill will be null and void if the CEP is terminated by the United States Department of Agriculture.
