Abstract	To find major problems with the National School Lunch Program, a study was conducted with 1,015 students, their parents, and 16 school lunch supervisors in 18 Washington school districts. When interviewed, only 2% of the students said the lunch program did not need any changes. The needed changes most often mentioned were for "different kinds of food" and "food more like what I have at home." Parents thought the main problems were the type of food served, "not enough to eat," and food preparation. Parents complaints varied significantly among school districts and were inversely related to the districts' rate of participation in the lunch program. Supervisors had fairly accurate perceptions of foods children disliked but not of foods children liked. Most parents (75%) thought lunches were reasonably priced, but 43% thought they could send a sack lunch cheaper. About one-third of the supervisors had problems getting adequate food service help. The distribution system and type of food offered through United States Department of Agriculture commodities were problems for 75% of the supervisors. In many districts parents did not receive adequate information about eligibility for free or reduced-price lunches, and anonymity for recipients of free or reduced-price lunches was a problem. (JHZ)
