The state superintendent is proposing free meals for all Wisconsin students. Dr. Jill Underly says all students would get free and healthy breakfast and lunch if her proposal is approved. The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction says a quarter of high school students in the state report a lack of food at home. Dr. Underly says children need their basic needs met in order to succeed. The universal meals idea is part of her 2025-2027 biennial budget proposal, which would also create a program that encourages school districts to buy food locally.
