Baltimore County schools plan to offer free meals to students

Baltimore County Public Schools plans to start offering free lunch to all students. The school district has set aside $2 million to help cover the cost. While the plan has been in the works for some time, it came to light during Tuesday's Maryland State Board of Education meeting. During the pandemic, Baltimore County was among a handful of districts that provided free meals regardless of parents' income status. Now, the district will likely return to this practice permanently.
