弗吉尼亚州建议为所有公立学校学生提供免费早餐,面对费用和营养准则方面的挑战。 Virginia proposes free breakfast for all public school students, facing cost and nutritional guideline challenges.

弗吉尼亚州立法者正在提出立法建议,使全州所有公立学校学生免费吃早餐。 Virginia lawmakers are proposing legislation to make breakfast free for all public school students statewide. 如果通过,学校将加入联邦国家学校午餐和学校早餐方案,免费向任何要求早餐的学生提供早餐。 If passed, schools would join the federal National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs, offering breakfasts at no cost to any student who requests one. 该法案得到教育和营养团体的大力支持,旨在减少对免费膳食的耻辱,提高学生出勤率。 The bill, which has strong support from education and nutrition groups, aims to reduce the stigma around free meals and improve student attendance. 然而,对营养准则和估计从2026财政年度开始的2 900万美元年度费用的关切依然存在。 However, concerns about nutritional guidelines and the estimated $29 million annual cost starting in fiscal year 2026 exist.
