Bill Summary

Regarding breakfast after the bell

AI Summary

This bill amends Massachusetts state law to require all public schools that serve a high number of needy children to provide a school breakfast program, and further requires those schools where at least 60% of students are eligible for free or reduced-price meals to offer breakfast to all students after the start of the instructional day. The bill provides for state reimbursement of the reasonable costs associated with these breakfast programs, and allows the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to grant one-year waivers from the "breakfast after the bell" requirement in certain circumstances.
