Policy Landscape and Our Work

A bill to provide free school meals to all North Dakota students failed to pass in the House during the most recent legislative session, despite strong support from advocates and some lawmakers. The bill, HB 1475, proposed using $140 million from the state’s general fund to cover the cost of breakfast and lunch for all K-12 students.
