This is really good to hear, thank you for sharing.
Would much rather a tax go to meals for kids than EPD (were that an option).

We took advantage of this during the pandemic. Really great resource and hope it keeps up though since they aren't doing it at ATA, I don't think it'll be a priority for our family.
Meals for kids and teacher salaries cannot be funded enough in my book.
Teachers are on the front lines of dealing with negative outcomes due to the pandemic. I come from a family of teachers and they're all either burnt out, or close to being burnt out due to kids falling behind and being just terrors in the classrooms (my family members all teach outside of Eugene, but they've said that the last few years have been really, really hard). I wish we could support them better...
Good. I've heard that children also need food when school isn't in session.
This is radical democrat marxist propaganda don't fall for it
