In an exclusive interview on KIRO Newsradio, the ranking member of Washington’s public education system suggested that the state will soon offer a version of a free universal school lunch program.

This $44 million is built to offset the costs taken on by school districts in joining the CEP, allowing more than 400 schools to take advantage of the federal benefits which provide services to an additional 100,000 students.
