Summary

AI-generated summary — verify against full text

The No Shame at School Act amends the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act to require schools to automatically certify eligible students for free or reduced-price meals and to prohibit stigmatizing practices against students with unpaid meal debt. The bill mandates that schools attempt direct certification for children whose households owe a week or more in unpaid fees, and bars schools from using special tokens, announcements, physical segregation, withholding grades or activities, or disposing of already-served food based on a student's debt status. Schools are also prohibited from directing debt collection communications to children or using debt collectors to pursue unpaid meal fees.
