Russell National School Lunch Act to: (1) require the Secretary of Agriculture to provide performance awards to states with outstanding performance or substantial improvement in directly certifying children who receive other public assistance as eligible for free meals under the school lunch and breakfast programs; (2) establish performance benchmarks and require states with direct certification rates below the benchmarks to implement continuous improvement plans; and (3) state that direct certification for free school meals must require no action on the part of a child's household.
Section 102 -
Confers categorical eligibility for free school meals on foster children whose care and placement is the responsibility of a state foster care agency or a court.
Section 103 -
Establishes a demonstration project to determine the effectiveness of directly certifying children for free school meals using household income data from Medicaid. Requires local educational agencies (LEAs) selected to participate in the project to certify directly for free school meals all children who are receiving Medicaid and whose household income does not exceed 133% of the federal poverty line. Phases-in the demonstration project during the three school years beginning in 2012. Requires that by the 2014 school year and each subsequent school year, selected LEAs collectively serve 10% of the students certified for free and reduced price meals nationwide.

Section 104 -
Establishes new mechanisms by which schools or LEAs with very high proportions of low-income children can receive federal reimbursement for free or reduced price meals without collecting individual paper applications from households.
