Beta

This bill would require every Kentucky public school to give students a lunch period of at least 30 minutes. School councils would be responsible for adopting a policy to meet this standard. It sets a statewide minimum where no such requirement currently exists in state law. Who it may affect: students in Kentucky public elementary and secondary schools, and school administrators responsible for setting daily schedules.
