Twee derde Amerikaanse scholen kan gratis lunchprogramma niet betalen

Over two-thirds of U.S. public schools report insufficient government reimbursement to cover the cost of free student lunches, with the financial strain intensifying. The Trump administration's policy changes, including cuts to nutrition assistance programs and updated dietary guidelines, are expected to worsen schools' financial sustainability. With reimbursement rates of approximately $4.70 per meal falling short of actual costs, school nutrition directors express serious concerns about maintaining these programs in the coming years.
