| Description of Subjects/Issues |
HB 22-1414 requires the state board to adopt rules concerning the implementation of
the Healthy School Meals for All Program, including establishing annual notice
requirements, maximizing federal funding, determining allowable costs for the Local
Food Program, and setting documentation requirements for additional wage and
stipend funding. Beginning with the 2023-2024 academic school year, public schools
may opt into a program that offers free meals to students that are not eligible for free
or reduced-price meals under the federal school meals programs. Starting in the
2024-2025 school year, additional funding is also available for districts to purchase
local foods and increase wages or provide stipends to employees that prepare and
serve school meals. The draft rules outline the requirements of the law and CDE’s role
in supporting implementation of the law. |

The statutory basis for these rules is 22-82.9-201, et. seq., C.R.S., which requires the State Board of Education to promulgate rules for implementation of the Healthy School Meals for All Program. The purpose of these rules is to assist public School Food Authorities that participate in the National School Lunch Program or School Breakfast Program in complying with federal and state law. |
