For decades, policymakers, administrators, and researchers have used Free and Reduced-Price Lunch (FRPL) data as a measure for student poverty. As more states move to universal school meals and more districts participate in Community Eligibility Provision, it is important to recognize the impact these policies will have on FRPL Data and the ability of districts to allocate money to students who need more resources. It is critical that a Congress creates a reliable, accurate poverty indicator for schools that is separate from FRPL data and school nutrition.
