State lawmakers are considering a bill that aims to tackle the issues of food waste and childhood hunger by allowing students to eat school lunch leftovers over the weekend.
The bill, which has passed the House and is currently in the Senate Education Committee, would permit school districts to partner with a nonprofit organization to freeze leftover food from school and turn them into “TV dinners” that students can take home and eat over the weekend.
Rep. Tom Loughman, a Democrat from Hampton, who introduced the bill, HB500, said it was inspired by a school in Elkhart, Ind., that has a similar program.
