Senate Committee Approves Changes to After-school, Summer Meals [YouthToday.org]

Summer and after-school programs could more easily feed children under legislation approved by the Senate Agriculture Committee.

By voice vote, the committee approved the bipartisan Improving Child Nutrition Integrity and Access Act, which reauthorizes and modifies federal child nutrition programs. It won the support of a wide range of public health, agriculture and education groups.

The bill, which sets standards for summer meal and after-school programs, would streamline the administrative process that requires two applications for programs that operate during both the school year and the summer.
