Program Enhancements and Other Budget Adjustments
Improving Student Health

Last year, in keeping with its commitment to promote student health and combat childhood obesity, the Administration proposed to increase the state reimbursement rate for School Nutrition Program meals and remove unhealthy fats and fried food from student meals. Unfortunately, the resulting legislation did not meet the Administration's goals and was vetoed.

The Administration continues to support an increase in the meal reimbursement rate along with legislation that will eliminate unhealthy fats and fried food from school cafeteria menus. The Administration would like to see schools use their increased reimbursement rates to purchase and prepare healthier food for their students.
