re: "Conservatives" agree to new entitlement program costing hundreds of millions per year

If you make 100K a year your school would like you to get free lunch tickets so the school gets more money.

The school still has to feed a lunch to that kid to get that money for that kid's lunch for that day.

Also, no school in America is going to turn down federal funding.

When a school doesn't have community eligibility, they have to hire someone to process apps, review, etc.

So a district can get more money and make things easier by doing comunity eligibility, or they can get less money, spend more money on admin, and make things harder by doing the traditional eligibility?

Kinda easy to see why they do it.
