Bob Ferguson on Families & Children

 

 


Free breakfast and lunch for all public school children

I am excited to work with Senator Riccelli and Representative Berg on legislation to ensure that every student attending K-12 public schools receives free breakfast and lunch as part of their basic education. Right now, if you're a single parent working 40 hours a week making 19 bucks an hour, your child doesn't qualify for free meals. That's unacceptable. That needs to change. This will improve learning for kids, and save time and money for working parents.
