The students in public schools in Boone County have needs that are often hidden. The governor opted out of federal help that was providing meals and many now come to school hungry, with no food at home to feed them breakfast. The often do not have clothes suitable for cold weather and many lack items to help them keep clean and take care of themselves. Girls lack supplies for menstruation. The schools need basic educational supplies like pencils! With state aid that has been less than the rate of inflation, schools are scrambling to fill in the gaps.
