This bill
requires the Department of Education to contract for the services necessary
to develop and implement an Internet-based application for free or
reduced-price meals under the National School Lunch Program and the School
Breakfast Program and make the application available to local school
administrative units (SAU's).
According to the department, Internet-based applications are available
and, therefore, there is no need to develop one. The department will hire a vendor through a
request for proposal process to maintain the application and deliver it to
SAU's. |
|
The bill includes
ongoing General Fund appropriations of $216,000 per year beginning in fiscal
year 2019-20 to the School Finance and Operations program within the
Department of Education to contract for the services necessary to provide the
Internet-based application for free or reduced-price meals under the National
School Lunch Program and the School Breakfast Program to public schools. This estimate assumes that the 216 SAU's
currently in the programs will choose to use, and be provided with, the
Internet-based application and that the cost for the vendor to maintain the
software will be $1,000 per school annually. |
