While school readiness is typically focused on our youngest (pre-school) children, most educators agree that all youth require good health and sound nutrition to succeed at school.

The SNS is a self-supporting agency with an $85 million annual budget that provides over 235,000 meals each day to students and staff, making it the sixth largest feeding program in the country. This indicator is intended to identify the respective percentage of students in each school who are benefitting from the free and reduced lunch program.
