AI Summary
This bill requires school councils, which are governing bodies within schools composed of parents, teachers, and administrators, to adopt a policy ensuring that students are assigned a lunch period of at least 30 minutes. This change is being made to existing law (KRS 160.345) that outlines the responsibilities and structure of school councils, and another section of law (KRS 158.153) is being updated to align with this change.
