New Research from Jones-Smith and Co-Authors Assesses Impacts of Two Programs Supporting Meal Provision to School Children During Pandemic Closures
Posted: 4/15/2022 (CSDE in the News)
CSDE Affiliate Jessica Jones-Smith and several co-authors recently published an evaluation of two programs designed to replace missed meals for children from low-income families during pandemic school closures. The two programs are the ‘grab-and-go school meals’ and the ‘Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT).’ The nationwide study assessed the impact of the two programs in terms of how many eligible children they reached, the frequency of program receipt, and costs.
