Colo. universal school meal program faces budget shortfall
2024-02-27
Colorado’s Healthy School Meals for All program, offering free breakfast and lunch to every public school student, is experiencing a budget shortfall of up to $24 million this year and $50 million next year due to a surge in student participation. The program, funded by a change in income tax for those earning over $300,000, has encountered challenges with lower-than-expected revenue and increased costs.
