Two public schools in Wicomico County are seeking to provide free school meals to students in a one-year pilot project next year.
They are the Chipman and Glen Avenue Elementary Schools.
If approved in the school system’s budget the program would be part of the federal program under the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010.
The Salisbury Daily Times reports that Chipman and Glen Avenue would fall under the requirement that 40 percent of their students are certified to enroll in the free meals program.
The paper reports that around 84 percent of students at both schools get free and reduced meals already.
