It doesn't need to be a law. (Why does everything have to be a law?) The association of school districts can simply decide that it is a good idea to offer vegetarian options to those who may wish to avail themselves.
For what it's worth, I myself am involved with several public school functions. When there is a meal to be served (sometimes catered out from a place like Jason's Deli, sometimes from a school cafeteria), there is almost always a vegetarian option.
In other words, it is evidently not that big a deal. So why the fuss over it? Offer up some vegetarian options and be done with it. That's what restaurants do, after all. This is really not that complicated.
Where it starts to get complicated is when folks take the stance that: [You can't tell us that we HAVE to offer up vegetarian stuff. Get your government out of our ass!]
The logical extrapolation of that line of reasoning is the scenario where schools serve manna every day...every...single...day. And you better damn like it.
