In Illinois there certainly is! Lunch waivers on the rise in schools across Illinois

Lunch waivers on the rise in schools across Illinois  Last fall, 922,984 students (including 19,693 in Elgin, 8,291 in Romeoville, 6,251 in West Aurora, and 3,464 in Plainfield) had fee waiver through lunch program - Tara Malone

There are more freebies that go along with this because State Law exempts students who qualify for free lunches from paying other school fees - from textbooks to transporatation. And where does that money come from?

You guessed it; from the already exhausted taxpayer funds that the government is squandering.
