As Wisconsin's economy has experienced recent struggles, a larger percentage of children are feeling the effects of reduced family income. A good indicator of this is the increasing eligibility for students to receive free or reduced-price school lunch. In order to qualify, a student must live in a household with an annual income at or below 130 percent of the federal poverty rate. As of the 2012-13 school year, 45.6% of Oshkosh students were eligible, as compared to the statewide eligibility of 43.2%.3 But the effects of poverty stretch beyond the lunchroom. Children who are raised in low-income households are often at an unfair advantage. These children often lack proper education and face social, emotional and behavioral challenges. As a result, poverty alone poses the single greatest risk to the well-being of children.4
