COLUMBIA - Missouri State Rep. Brian Seitz (R-Branson) filed a one page bill last week that would provide all students with free meals.The federal government provided schools to give students free meals during the pandemic, but Congress ended that program in June."We have proven during that time period that government can do that for students," Rep. Seitz said. "The time has come that we should do that on a permanent basis."Now that the program is over, families will have to apply for free and reduced meals.
