Plain-English Summary
Schools that participate in the federal lunch program would have to publicly post any waivers they receive that allow them to buy food from non-American sources instead of following the "Buy American" requirement. This transparency measure would let parents, taxpayers, and community members see when and why schools decide to purchase foreign food products rather than domestic ones. The change affects school districts across the country that serve meals to millions of students daily.
