I strongly oppose forcing schools to raise the price to the paid student to equal the price of the reimbursement. You are insuring that the participation by the paid student will decrease dramatically. These families that are proud to pay their own way and are struggling are going to get hit again. Where does it end. Why is the government always going after the families that are paying their way. They make slightly too much to qualify for assistance, so you are going penalize them again. Who came up with the price of a meal anyway. These meals and good, nutritious meals can be produced for less than your figures state. Any food service director worth anything knows that is true. So if you want to do anything, let everyone have free meals, but don't charge extra just because you don't qualify for assistance. The government needs to come out in the real world and operate like we have too, then we definitely wouldn't have an outrageous deficit.
