Lunch Program at WISH Community & WISH Academy 2021-2022
UNIVERSAL MEAL SERVICE - AB 130
UNIVERSAL MEAL SERVICE COMING IN 2022-2023
On July 9, 2021, Assembly Bill (AB) 130 was passed to allow the state of California to provide two free meals each school day to every student (TK – 12) beginning in the 2022-2023 School Year. Under this legislation, schools will be required to serve two nutritiously compliant meals to students who are on campus each day school is in session. For WISH students, this will be breakfast and lunch.
For the 2021-2022 school year, AB 130 enables schools that are approved for the Seamless Summer Option (SSO) to also feed students one nutritiously compliant meal each day for free, regardless of family income. WISH is an approved SSO meal site, therefore lunch for students each day will be free. Please ensure you place orders in advance so we can guarantee that we have the correct quantity of lunches available for students.
