Manor ISD superintendent Robert Sormani says this will help the students tremendously. He said providing healthy meal options for students will help their classroom performance.
"Even students who don't necessarily qualify by income to have a free and reduced lunch will get it, too. Which is great because, especially middle school students, sometimes they skip meals when they shouldn't," says Robert Sormani, Manor ISD superintendent.
"And so what we do is once we get those students through the lunch line, and they put in their student ID, we apply to the government who reimburses us, for those meal costs," Sormani adds.
