Bill > S2473

This bill aims to expand access to school breakfast programs in Massachusetts. It requires public elementary, secondary, and vocational schools with at least 60% of students eligible for free or reduced-price meals to offer breakfast to all students after the start of the instructional day. The bill allows schools to use different breakfast service models, such as breakfast in the classroom or grab-and-go options, to best suit their students' needs. It also requires the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to collect and publish data on the availability and participation rates of these breakfast programs, and to develop a schedule for implementing the program by the 2021-2022 academic year.
