District to start free breakfast next week, staff say
Summary
School food staff told the board that free breakfast will be available starting next week districtwide; staff said restoring breakfast should raise participation and help offset meal program pressures.
Presenter Chris (S9) told trustees the district will begin providing free breakfast next week, a change staff said should increase participation for the morning meal and help families.
Board members welcomed the return of free breakfast as a way to reduce stigma and improve access. Staff explained that many eligible students are 'direct certified' through state benefit lists so families do not need to complete separate applications for reduced or free status.
