The resolution introduced by various representatives urges the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Education to collaborate on a comprehensive statewide study of school cafeteria services across all school districts. This initiative is prompted by concerns regarding the quality and nutritional value of meals provided to students, as well as the impact of these meals on students' health and academic performance. The resolution highlights the existing federal requirement for biannual inspections of school kitchens and the role of the Department of Education's Food and Nutrition Division in supporting school districts.

The proposed study aims to establish assessment standards for meal quality and portion sizes, evaluate the nutritional content of meals served, analyze the costs associated with meal preparation and student charges, and recommend necessary legislative actions to ensure compliance with nutrition and quality standards. The findings and recommendations from this study are to be reported to the General Assembly and made publicly accessible within one year of the resolution's adoption.
