It's official! @MassGovernor just signed our Breakfast After the Bell bill into law. For years to come, this bill will give students a real chance to eat breakfast.

Imagine earning $24K, raising 2 kids and being told you make too much money for your kids to qualify for free school meals. This system didn<U+2019>t work for Massachusetts families and we shouldn<U+2019>t go back to it. Let<U+2019>s make #SchoolMealsForAll a permanent part of public education. https://t.co/6eIC4uQOFo
