Board votes to continue universal free breakfast despite recommendation to end program
Summary
After discussing declining Free and Reduced Meals paperwork and a $15,000–$20,000 annual cost, the Aquilla ISD board voted Aug. 4 to continue the universal free breakfast program.
School administration reported that the universal free breakfast program costs the district about $15,000–$20,000 per year and that fewer families have been completing Free and Reduced Meals paperwork. Administrators recommended eliminating the universal free breakfast to encourage form completion and access to state‑sponsored Free and Reduced Meals, but the board chose to continue the universal program.
Will Pinner moved to continue the universal free breakfast program; Amber Cain seconded. The motion passed unanimously. Board members discussed alternative ways to increase completion of the required forms while preserving breakfast access.
