Schools prepare to feed thousands of children countywide

BOTHELL — Just days ago, the Northshore School District was the only district in the state providing meals for students stuck at home as the coronavirus outbreak shuttered classrooms.

Now it’s a requirement for all schools in Washington.

On Friday, Gov. Jay Inslee ordered every school in the state to close through April 24. President Donald Trump declared the coronavirus pandemic a national emergency less than two hours earlier.

All districts now must provide students with free meals while school is out, according to the state Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction. Some local districts are finding creative ways to make that happen.

2. My daughter Julie, mother of a kindergartner and 8 month old,

is helping their southern MD school district figure out how to get food to kids, with this program, as schools are now closed.

The schools are offering free 'grab and go' lunches, a mobile meal service will be available, and Julie wondered whether school bus drivers might help with distribution along their routes; she's contacted the principal, who is working on some plan.
