Family Center News and Events
🌟More reason to celebrate! Thank you Senators!BIG NEWS! The Vermont Senate unanimously gave preliminary approval to a bill that would bring Universal School Breakfast to all Vermont schools by 2022. The bill would make Vermont the first state in the nation to provide breakfast free of charge to all public school students every school day. The Senate is expected to give final approval to the bill on Friday, and then it will move to the House for consideration.
The Senate also committed to a path to providing full Universal School Meals (breakfast and lunch) to all public school students by directing a task force to develop a plan to provide universal lunch by the 2026-27 school year. Thank you to all of our partners and Senators for making this possible - we are well on our way to ensuring no Vermont child learns what hunger feels like at school!
