(a) Policies.- The General Assembly finds the following policies desirable in the administration and application of the school feeding programs:
(1) Private organizations and corporations should be encouraged to participate in the program;
(2) The identity of children who participate in free or subsidized feeding programs should remain anonymous and positive procedures should be adopted to accomplish this; and
(3) Applications for participants in the program should be brief and simple, based on a statement of present income and family size or of participation in a social services or welfare program.
(b) Discrimination among students prohibited.- There may not be discrimination among these programs for elementary, junior high, and high school students.
