Arizona Schools Use Data, P-EBT Program for Student Meals

Arizona Schools Use Data, P-EBT Program for Student Meals Arizona school districts made use of an API system offered by education research nonprofit Ed-Fi Alliance to identify and assist more than 550,000 students in need of free meals during school closures. July 15, 2021 •  Millions of K-12 students across the U.S. were in danger of losing access to free meals after COVID-19 forced schools to close their doors last year. In Arizona, school districts turned to pickup and delivery options to continue providing those meals where possible, but for others, they were able to coordinate with the state’s Pandemic-Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) program, an extension of EBT benefits, for additional food support.

Fernandez: Officials working on details for student SNAP cards By Steve Limtiaco Guam Department of Education Superintendent Jon Fernandez said the school system and Public Health are working on the details for distributing food stamp cards to public school students. The U.S. Department of Agriculture, which provides funding for food stamps, last week approved Guam’s state plan to give as much as $36.7 million in food money to Guam students who missed free school meals during the pandemic lockdown. Each public school student is eligible to receive a Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program card worth a total of $1,243.32. The food money comes from the federally funded Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer program, which is intended to help students who missed free meals at school due to the pandemic.
