2025 Senate Bill 48: AN ACT relating to school meals at low-income schools

Senate Bill 48 aims to establish the Kentucky Proud School Match Program fund which will reimburse an eligible school district $0.33 for every meal reimbursed by the provision. Schools that receive such reimbursement must develop a Kentucky Proud school plan, which needs to identify and purchase Kentucky-grown agriculture products to optimize food usage.

KSVT recognizes the benefits of this bill for low income schools by funding opportunities, but wants to recognize administrative transparency and hopes schools utilize funds adequate to benefit students.
