School meals should be free for all kids all the time
School lunch debt is gross and should not exist.
Tennessee continues to allow school lunch debt to persist, despite significant resources that would and could create a free school meal program for all kids.
The state has spent $500 million for a new Titans stadium and $1.6 billion on a corporate tax giveaway.
Those two expenses alone are three times the cost of providing free school meals for all kids in Tennessee public schools.
