Requires SFAs whose average paid lunch price that is less than the difference between the free lunch reimbursement rate and the paid lunch reimbursement rate (for school year 2013-14 the difference was $2.59) to be adjusted so that the total per meal revenue received for those lunches is equal to the per meal revenue provided by the federal government for free lunches.
