The state said this week it will not participate in a federal program that would provide $120 in benefits to each eligible child, citing administrative hurdles.
If you read the article it has nothing to do with “the state being run by terrorists” - it’s that they don’t have the infrastructure and data collection necessary to do it. They have pledged that they will focus on getting it implemented so they can do it.
McGowin pledged that going forward the state will “focus on implementing the system changes necessary to facilitate participation in summer EBT programs in future years.”
But for Missouri to participate in next year’s program, “the state’s data collection systems need to be addressed well in advance,” McGowin said.
“The current P-EBT programs have required data to be collected from schools that DESE does not normally collect,” she said. “We must then address how the data can be most efficiently and effectively shared with DSS, and shared in a way that more seamlessly integrates with DSS’ benefit administration systems.”
Woody said the state’s pledge to make changes to better operate the program in future years is “the only bright spot.”
Maybe the federal government should be the ones building these data collection services so that the states simply have to opt-in and use the government created facilities?
How exactly does the federal government get data on school demographics when the schools are run by individual states? Or should they just throw out money randomly and hope it’s enough?
The federal government builds the infrastructure and systems for the schools to use so they can share this data. As it is the states need to all build their own to share this data with the federal government in order to get the funds for these meals.
Why would the states accept the federal government doing such a thing? Isn’t that the federal government encroaching on their rights when it comes to deciding how education should be run in their states?

Why do they not have systems up to date where other states do?
Because not every state is the same, obviously.
The federal government should be building and running this system.

Why would they do it? To help the children. The federal government already runs many services that the states use.
You’re hilarious.
So the democrat federal government don’t care about the children?
