 Jessica Farron, the director of nutrition services for the Red Clay Consolidated School District, says lawmakers took a step in the right direction by allowing more free school meals within the state. Farron says Red Clay already implemented free school meals for students who qualify for reduced-price meals, but receiving state dollars to fund that program means the district can allocate their money elsewhere. She explains Red Clay will receive around $18,000, which will allow the district to reinvest in bettering their nutrition services.
