Bill > HB4777

This bill, titled the "Establishing Summer Feeding for All Program," mandates that every county public school system in West Virginia must conduct an annual survey to assess student food insecurity during times when school is not in session, such as summer breaks or during remote learning. The bill requires each county school board to compile and distribute a list of local food providers that can offer nutritious meals to children facing food insecurity on these non-school days. Furthermore, it directs the Office of Child Nutrition, a state agency responsible for overseeing child nutrition programs, to assist county school boards in coordinating and developing public policy initiatives aimed at ensuring students have access to food, building upon existing programs like "Feed to Achieve" and the "Shared Table Initiative" which have fostered innovation in feeding children in need.
