This initiative emphasizes the critical connection between nutrition and education in boosting student performance. By utilizing ‘Base Year’ income data, schools can serve meals at no charge for all students, promoting participation and improving overall revenue. The program encourages collaboration among school food services, principals, teachers, parents, and students, supported by the Ohio Department of Education. With a focus on thorough planning and community engagement, the initiative aims to create a positive environment where nutrition helps enhance academic success, reduce tardiness, and improve student behavior.
