How it works
- Paste the bill.
- Pick parent briefing or classroom outline.
- Print it, send it home, or teach it tomorrow.
What counts as a bill
Any education law or rule in plain text: a state or federal bill, a bill summary from a legislature website, a school board policy, a district handbook change, or a state education department notice. The tool reads only what you paste. It does not look up the bill for you.
Example: a parent briefing
The lunch line
Fewer schools can automatically feed every child for free. More families will be asked to fill out paperwork, and some children who ate without a form last year will not this year.
- Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) pathways were tightened, so fewer schools can serve free meals to every student without applications.
- Families in schools that lose CEP will need to return income forms; incomplete paperwork can mean a child loses a free tray.
- Analyses from education and anti-hunger groups estimate higher grocery costs for families who must now pay, often around two thousand dollars a year for two children.
Any child in a school that used or hoped to use community eligibility, especially in districts with mixed-income enrollment.
Some schools used to feed every kid without a form. A new rule makes that harder, so our cafeteria might ask us for paperwork. The form is not a test. It is how the school knows who still gets a free tray.
