I didn't notice if "participation" meant meals available or actually picked up by kids. Kids, particularly younger ones, who are in unstable households may not get to school in time to pick up what's available. Some districts have adapted by doing grab-and-go available anytime or serving meals in the classroom.

Good reply - I’ll add that a lot of teachers recognize their kids are too hungry to learn and stock their desks with food.
