Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Childhood Hunger Relief Act. Provides that beginning with the summer of 2007, the board of education of each school district in which at least 50% of the students are eligible for free or reduced-price school meals must operate a summer food service program or identify a non-profit or private agency to sponsor a program (now, by the summer of 2006 and then each summer thereafter, these school districts are strongly encouraged to operate a summer food service program or identify a non-profit or private agency to sponsor a program).

House Amendment No. 1
Deletes everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Childhood Hunger Relief Act. Provides that on or before April 15, 2007, a school district must promulgate a plan to have a summer food service program for each school in which at least 50% of the students are eligible for free or reduced-price school meals, and provides that the plan must be implemented during the summer of 2007 (now, certain boards of education are strongly encouraged to operate a summer food service program or identify a non-profit or private agency to sponsor a summer food service program). Provides that if the school district has one or more elementary schools that qualify, the summer food service program must be operated within 5 miles of at least one of the elementary schools and within 10 miles of the other elementary schools, if any. Provides that if a school is not open during the summer months, the school district may identify a not-for-profit entity that is willing to sponsor a summer food service program serving school-aged children in the surrounding school area and may provide assistance to the entity in documenting the number of children in the area who are eligible for free or reduced-price school meals. Provides that summer food service programs shall (instead of may) be supported by federal funds and commodities and other available State and local resources.
