Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: December 2, 2010

Rep. Paulsen Statement Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010

Washington, D.C.Representative Erik Paulsen (MN-03) released the following statement regarding the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010:

“Today I joined with the National School Boards Association and the American Association of School Administrators in opposing this legislation because of the new, costly unfunded mandate on school districts that will add an additional 11-25 cents to the cost of a meal while only reimbursing 6 cents.  This difference has to be made up somewhere and it will likely become an additional burden on families and schools that are already struggling.”
