Sunset meal eligibility: source notes
This page documents the meal-eligibility statistic used by the independent Don’t Sunset Sunset campaign. It is a transcription of aggregate figures from the November 6, 2026 board workbook supplied by the campaign organizer.
232 ÷ 352 × 100 = 65.909…%, shown as 65.9% here and approximately 66% on the campaign page.
What this measures: student eligibility for free or reduced-price meals. It is not a count of households experiencing financial distress, current-year enrollment, or the number of meals served.
