new text begin Findings; grant. new text end

new text begin (a) The legislature finds that the negative effects of
screen overuse and misuse impact the healthy development of young people. Research
supports a growing amount of evidence on the effects of screen overuse and misuse on the
following dimensions of well-being:
new text end

new text begin (1) physically, including sleep disturbances, eye strain, headaches, obesity, back and
neck pain, and physiological changes in the brain;
new text end

new text begin (2) mentally, including depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and addictive tendencies;

new text begin (3) socially, including loneliness, social upward mobility comparison, nomophobia,
sexting, cyberbullying, unfiltered access to pornography, and diminished social and
interpersonal skills;
new text end

new text begin (4) emotionally, including emotional dysregulation, decreased ability to express empathy,
and lowered self-esteem; and
new text end

new text begin (5) cognitive distraction, including diminished academic performance, decreased working
memory, decrease in cognitive capacity and functioning, and increase in ADHD.

new text begin (b) The effects of screen overuse and misuse impact every generation, gender, race, and
social class. Technology poses a greater detriment to underserved populations on social
mobility comparisons, academic achievement, distraction by devices in the learning
environment, compromised use of technology as a learning tool, reduced social and emotional
learning skills, and lower levels of learning motivation and self-confidence.
new text end

new text begin (c) The negative effects of social media on young people include sleep disruption,

in life satisfaction, loss of interest in daily activities with peers, increased tendency to send
sexualized images, suicidal ideation, self-harming, and obesity.

The
commissioner must post on the department's website eligibility criteria and application
information for nonprofit organizations interested in applying to the commissioner for
approval as a multisite sponsoring organization under the federal child and adult care food
program. The posted criteria and information must inform interested nonprofit organizations
about:

how an applicant demonstrates financial viability for the Minnesota program, among other
criteria;

School food service fund.

(a) The expenses described in this subdivision must

(b) In each district, the expenses for a school food service program for pupils must be
attributed to a school food service fund. Under a food service program, the school food
service may prepare or serve milk, meals, or snacks in connection with school or community
service activities.

(c) Revenues and expenditures for food service activities must be recorded in the food
service fund. The costs of processing applications, accounting for meals, preparing and
serving food, providing kitchen custodial services, and other expenses involving the preparing
of meals or the kitchen section of the lunchroom may be charged to the food service fund
or to the general fund of the district. The costs of lunchroom supervision, lunchroom custodial
services, lunchroom utilities, and other administrative costs of the food service program
must be charged to the general fund.

attributable to the food service program may be charged to the food service fund provided
that the school district does not employ or contract with a food service director or other
individual who manages the food service program, or food service management company.
If the cost of the superintendent or fiscal manager is charged to the food service fund, the
charge must be at a wage rate not to exceed the statewide average for food service directors
as determined by the department.

(d) Capital expenditures for the purchase of food service equipment must be made from
the general fund and not the food service fund, unless the restricted balance in the food
service fund at the end of the last fiscal year is greater than the cost of the equipment to be
purchased.

(e) If the condition set out in paragraph (d) applies, the equipment may be purchased
from the food service fund.

(f) If a deficit in the food service fund exists at the end of a fiscal year, and the deficit
is not eliminated by revenues from food service operations in the next fiscal year, then the
deficit must be eliminated by a permanent fund transfer from the general fund at the end of
that second fiscal year. However, if a district contracts with a food service management
company during the period in which the deficit has accrued, the deficit must be eliminated
by a payment from the food service management company.

(g) Notwithstanding paragraph (f), a district may incur a deficit in the food service fund
for up to three years without making the permanent transfer if the district submits to the
commissioner by January 1 of the second fiscal year a plan for eliminating that deficit at
the end of the third fiscal year.

(h) If a surplus in the food service fund exists at the end of a fiscal year for three
successive years, a district may recode for that fiscal year the costs of lunchroom supervision,
lunchroom custodial services, lunchroom utilities, and other administrative costs of the food
service program charged to the general fund according to paragraph (c) and charge those
costs to the food service fund in a total amount not to exceed the amount of surplus in the
food service fund.
