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 as economically disadvantaged: (1) Direct Certification (DC) under the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) Pilot Program, and (2) a run of the Chapter 70 formula for the fiscal year using the most recent free/reduced-price meal data available. 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 the task force is required to issue a final report and recommendations for legislation by January 1, 2018.
