In Utah, people that cannot pay have other ways to make sure children get fed...churches, friends of the parents, charity's, maybe PA should look at those options...
Makes me think of what somebody said about police, but true here as in many areas of life: As soon as you tell somebody the government is going to be taking care of something everybody immediately relinquishes all authority in that area. Police come to a small town that never had it before? Nobody looks out for each other any more. Start feeding the kids breakfast and lunch? Pretty soon people stop taking responsibility for feeding them.
I don’t live in PA either. But I wonder, how many undocumented students received free meals paid by PA taxpayers prior to the letter?
Update on article. (What was the purpose of the letter?)

EXCERPT...
The Wyoming Valley West School Board now qualifies for enough money to provide free lunches to all students for the upcoming school year.
