Report: Federal funding flaw shortchanges Hawaii’s school nutrition programs
(The Center Square) – The Hawaii State Department of Education is paying tens of millions of dollars to feed Hawaiian school children due to a flaw in the funding method used by the federal government, according to a report.
The authors of a report from Hawaii Appleseed, Hawaii Children’s Action Network, the Hawaii Afterschool Alliance, and Ulupono Initiative said the U.S. Department of Agriculture had not updated its funding formula since 1979.
