Akron (Ohio) district will offer free school lunch to all students

July 26, 2012
District says it will save money by eliminating bureaucratic process of determining eligibility

From The Akron Beacon Journal: Middle and high school students in Akron (Ohio) public schools won’t have to pay for school lunches this fall or even fill out paperwork for a government subsidy. The district already provides free breakfast in all its schools and free lunch in its elementary buildings. The Akron school board has voted to extend that policy to all Akron schools. The change won’t cost local taxpayers any money, and the district is expected to save some money because officials won’t have to print, collect and process applications for free and reduced-price lunches.
