During the 2021-2022 school year, schools that normaly don't provide free meals were able to do so due to temporary changes in federal regulations. Kentucky Youth Advocates (KYA) seeks to evaluate the impact that recieveing free school meals had on Kentucky students and families. This short survey should take less than ten minutes to complete and is completely anonymous, unless you grant us permission to contact you further.

If you have any questions, please reach out to Karena Cash at kcash@kyyouth.org.
