Starting in the 2011-12 school year, schools participating in the federally-funded National School Lunch Program were required to provide students with access to free drinking water during school meals, in the location where meals are served. New research by Bridging the Gap describes how schools are meeting this requirement and provides insight about the cleanliness of drinking fountains.

The report found that most participating schools met the water requirements, but that there is still work to be done to improve water quality and access.

Check out the full research brief.
