San Francisco, CA – In a landmark decision, the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) has approved a universal free lunch program for all students starting in the 2024-25 school year. The program aims to combat food insecurity and ensure no child goes hungry.
Funding will come from state grants and local taxes, with additional support from corporate donors. “This is a win for equity and education,” said SFUSD Superintendent Clara Ramirez. Parents and advocacy groups have widely celebrated the move.
