AI Summary

This bill aims to improve the identification of low-income students for the purposes of expanding eligibility for free or reduced-price lunch under the National School Lunch Act. It provides two means of calculation to certify students: Direct Certification (DC) under the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) Pilot Program, and a calculation of the chapter 70 formula for the fiscal year that uses the most recent free or reduced-price meal data available for each district. The bill also establishes a cross-agency Economically Disadvantaged Student Calculation task force to address and solve the challenges with the implementation of direct certification, and requires the task force to issue a final report and recommendations by January 1, 2018.
