KVAL<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nEUGENE, Ore. \u2013 Siguiendo el ejemplo de un distrito escolar local de Oreg\u00f3n, el senador Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) est\u00e1 listo para presentar la Ley Feed Our Rural Kids (FORK) esta semana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La legislaci\u00f3n emular\u00eda un programa establecido en Umatilla donde el distrito escolar local cre\u00f3 un programa piloto de entrega de comidas de verano en veh\u00edculos para ayudar a alimentar a los ni\u00f1os en las comunidades rurales que no est\u00e1n en la sesi\u00f3n escolar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNuestros ni\u00f1os en las zonas rurales de Oreg\u00f3n est\u00e1n muy dispersos\u201d, dijo Merkley. \u201cSabemos que a menudo hay familias que no est\u00e1n siendo alimentadas. Averig\u00fcemos c\u00f3mo continuar el programa de alimentaci\u00f3n de verano de una manera m\u00e1s efectiva\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La Ley FORK crear\u00eda un programa piloto para ser utilizado en varios distritos escolares de todo el pa\u00eds, utilizando un carrito de comida para entregar almuerzos a los estudiantes rurales en sus hogares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Merkley dijo que el programa piloto permitir\u00eda al Congreso \u201cver c\u00f3mo funciona durante tres a\u00f1os en diferentes partes de Estados Unidos, evaluarlo y ver si podemos convertirlo en parte de nuestro programa permanente\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Con los fondos para la pandemia a punto de expirar, el senador est\u00e1 tratando de abordar la brecha del hambre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDigamos que eres un padre soltero. Tu padre est\u00e1 trabajando el d\u00eda. \u00bfC\u00f3mo vas a recoger una bolsa de almuerzo? Entonces, esto fue para resolver el problema. Necesitamos asegurarnos de que ning\u00fan ni\u00f1o pase hambre en el distrito escolar\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Merkley destac\u00f3 el \u00e9xito del programa Umatilla, lanzado por la superintendente Heidi Sipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFuncion\u00f3 muy bien\u201d, dijo, \u201cy creo que a menudo los mejores programas federales se basan en cosas que los distritos locales han probado, y si funcionan, bueno, intentemos convertirlos en un programa piloto federal. Si eso funciona, hag\u00e1moslo un programa federal\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Merkley planea presentar la Ley FORK en el Senado de los EE. UU. el jueves.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
