LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 739, as introduced, Voepel. School meals.

Existing law requires each school district or county superintendent of schools maintaining kindergarten or any of grades 1 to 12, inclusive, to provide for each needy pupil one nutritionally adequate free or reduced-price meal during each schoolday, as specified, and authorizes a school district or county office of education to use funds available through any federal or state program for those purposes, as specified. Existing law also authorizes school district funds to be used for the purchase of those school meals for pupils.
